Haya Zubaid
Artist and writer, exploring the intersections of psychology, anthropology, and the natural world. Her work investigates healing through the creative process, group dynamics and material exploration. It highlights the physicality of feeling, where textures and organic forms act as bridges between inner worlds and outer landscapes. Many pieces reflect relational experiences, whether with the self or others.
