Hybridising motifs of Kuwait’s past and present, the series titled Desert Cast contributes
to the development of local design identity through its re-application of regional and
borrowed elements.
This collection analyses the kitsch replication of classical architectural motifs in Kuwaiti
houses. A trend that creates a disingenuous sense of vicarious and exotic luxury,
and contributes to Kuwait's struggle to develop a context-based design identity, due to
an orientalist over-generalisation of Middle Eastern culture.
Desert Cast borrows the profiles used for extruded gypsum cornices and friezes,
morphing them by overlapping the designs with two other locally embellished processes,
sand-casting, and foam-cutting.
Synthesising local craft and design technology establishes a new Kuwaiti identity that is
rooted in its migrant history, yet embraces its contemporary image. The series highlights
the accessibility to master craftsmanship, typically used in a narrow practice, with limited
perceived value, and presents new possibilities.
