The Swiss brand will be displaying a piece inspired by Piaget’s Sunny Side of Life collection. “I have designed Summer Muse, that will be showcased in the Piaget lounge during this year’s edition of Art Dubai,” says Jawaher with enthusiasm. “This commission offered me an opportunity as an Emirati designer to work closely with an international brand that boasts a strong history and savoir-faire, inspiring me to aim bigger.” Being an artist, Jawaher is naturally observant and inquisitive, with everything from history to travel being a source of inspiration. “I believe professional practice and constant observation of my surroundings has enriched my sense of creativity significantly.” Talking about Art Dubai and the significance of the platform, she says, “it is considerably one of the most noteworthy annual art events in the region.”
