Since its creation in 2010, HAWINI has been a multidisciplinary studio, brewing and exchanging new ideas and collaborations. And for the first time ever HAWINI is shedding light on the work of one of its founders, Wissam Moubarak, an architect, designer and photographer.
For this new body of work Moubarak drew inspiration from dilapidated cities, with a particular aim on defending their cultural heritage and History.
Old houses skeletons were reconceived as low tables an imaginary cities were sketched from the vivid and childhood infused imagination of the artist. Moubarak combined materials, while keeping an astute attention to “Handmade creations”, is giving us some food for thought with his new installation.
When traditional houses vanish, what will remain of our collective memory?
