At 14, I dreamt of being amidst towering skyscrapers and architects, inspiring my studies in Architectural Engineering in Italy & the Netherlands. At 22, I delved into photography with an exhibition in Baghdad before the 2003 Iraq war, finding fulfilment in raising awareness through images.
Yet, my strong architectural drive led me to London in 2006 to work on Jean Nouvel's advanced facades, followed by 12 years at Norman Foster’s, developing sustainable solutions for Apple, traveling to 70+ countries, exploring Nature and societal impacts.
The loss of my parents reminded me of the value of existence. COVID-19 reflection spurred a seven-month solo campervan journey in Scotland’s Highlands, working remotely for Foster+Partners. The dichotomy between Architecture & Nature became irreconcilable.
This led to exploring biocentric equality, influenced by my yoga passion. I investigated the industrialisation of Nature and explored untamed biomes in Norway and Antarctica, collaborating with Norway’s NVE & Argentina’s DNA.
I received international recognitions, including the 2022 Sony World Photo Professional Award for Landscape. The series “Life on Earth”, according to SWPA judges, “delves into the ethereal magic of Nature and the mysterious beauty of an untamed world”.
Now, I traverse Earth’s territories to voice Nature’s wisdom, reverberating immersive, experiential, and spiritual frequencies of the Natural World to celebrate symbiosis, and envision inclusive, ecotopical societies.
