Happy Halloween Qatar

Some fantastic students decided to dress up for Halloween today..  Apparently there is a party at the rec center after school today… Have fun, and stay safe.

I Close My Eyes and Breathe You In

From our assignment brief:

If one can’t see, they’re blind. If one can’t hear, they’re deaf. But what is someone who can’t smell? Very seldom does the scent, be this in a garment, piece of furniture or a building, play  a  recognized,  let  alone  defining,  role  during  the  conception  of  its  design.  In  this assignment  fragrance  (aroma,  scent,  smell,  stench,  reek…)  will  be,  along  with  the  assigned digital fabrication methods, the project’s protagonist.

For this assignment I proposed building an anatomically correct representation of the human heart out of glass. This heart would contain the fragrances worn by two lovers. However.. the assignment was to also learn how to use the 3D printer and the programs that go along with it (Rhino), so I modified my initial design to a more simplified looking heart. Each Chamber contains the perfume of just one person, the other contains the perfume of the person they love. As air flows from the lower opening into the model it would carry both fragrances at the same time out the top, and one would be able to smell a mixture of their combined scent (much like they themselves would smell as they were holding each other).

Really?

When I get tired small things annoy me.. I mean come on, really?

wth?!

Found in the Landmark mall in Qatar. I wonder if pencil drawings of Osama Bil Laden would be just as well received as these smiling Saddam Hussein sketches in a public mall? The man was a murderer.. how can people be ok with this?

Soon

Am I the only person that feels like their cat secretly wants to kill them?

I’m learning stuff!

Men on camels

Twas just a normal day in Qatar.. the radio was on, and I was making my way to school. When suddenly I come face to face with a group of men on camel back. I almost ran off the road when I saw these guys show up on my left side as I rounded the roundabout I take every single day. I debated for a minute or two before I decided to go back and shoot them for my authenticity class which wanted authentic pictures of Qatar. I had to cross two high ways on foot to get these shots.. lets hope they will be acceptable.
