Jinn: Flickers Through History

  • Creative production and art direction for a SWANA cultural gathering exploring the mythology of the jinn
  • Spatial storytelling built around food, florals, texture, and ritual for 70+ guests
  • Designed a sculptural "pita tree" centerpiece as an interactive storytelling device

Guests wrote responses to questions on identity, belief, and the unknown and hung them from the branches — what began as an installation became a living conversation, giving people a reason to pause and share with one another.
