Picture
Caption: The show had been advertised all over the hotel - in elevators
Picture
Caption: and foyers,
Picture
Caption: and at times was even to be seen in the lobby.
Picture
Caption: I love photographing architecture so it was exciting to be exhibiting in a hotel that rises 51 storeys above the streets and has a metal and glass exterior.
Picture
Caption: My artworks
are shown in the amazing Origami Room area - one of the reasons I chose the title "Unfolding".
Picture

Picture
Caption: The opening of "Unfolding" coincided with the Arab Women in Leadership and Business Summit,
Picture
Caption: and while it was on the curtains to the foyer were closed.
Caption: I believe that as moments occur, we have the choice to creatively partake in their unfolding - an apt message for the summit I felt, and another reason I entitled the exhibition "Unfolding".
Picture
Caption: In the evening, after the summit was over, I made my way to the Origami Room and allowed the quiet, almost meditative space to surround me.
