I am a Syrian film director and visual artist based in the UK. My work explores themes of displacement, resilience, and cultural identity, drawing from my own lived experiences and a deep commitment to storytelling. Before moving to the UK, I worked as a journalist in Syria for four years during the civil war, documenting stories that were often untold.

Since settling in Wales, I have immersed myself in filmmaking, earning a distinction in the Foundation Diploma in Art and Design at the Creative Arts Academy in Cardiff (2024) and completing a documentary filmmaking course at Media Academy Cymru (2023).

My ability to adapt and integrate into new environments is reflected in my work. Having learnt English in just two years, I now collaborate widely across Wales’ creative industries. As a freelance filmmaker, I have worked with organisations such as BBC Studios, Ffilm Cymru Wales, and Aberystwyth Arts Centre, producing films that challenge perceptions and amplify marginalised voices.

In 2023, I was awarded the Contribution to the Arts Award at the Nation of Sanctuary Awards, recognising my artistic impact and dedication to cultural storytelling.
