The Duplet's Journey - Experience adventure through the layers of paper

  The moon has been sighted, streets are decorated with beautiful lights. Wearing new outfits, everyone is excited to meet and greet their dear ones. New recipes being tried in the kitchen, new plants in the rooftops add the sparkle. That's the scenario we experience every year. As things have been a bit different with the pandemic, we attempted to picture some 'stay home' eid traits in paper illustration last year. We wondered if the situation is going to repeat itself and it did, unfortunately. Let's take a tour to a traditional arabian style neighborhood and have a glimpse of their colorful celebration.  P.S: you won't get infected by the visit. 👀 Hanging embellishments have been the must have decor for eid in the neighborhood, to light up the darkness while creating the festive mood. Not so crowded mosque far away is calling for prayer. A very different Eid. Silent and dark. Mostly the crickets chirping outside. But the homes are as always colorful and celebrat...

All the sorrows and stress vanishes in a moment when we decide to put our full trust on the Almighty Creator. Why does that happen? Because our Creator puts us on different situations simply to test who's acknowledging his Lord's decree and who's turning their back out of arrogance! So when we submit ourselves to the will of Allah and leave our affairs to Him acknowledging that what we're going through are just temporary tests with much greater reward, it's like lifting a heavy load off our shoulders. Because in the Qur'an it says, "And whoever puts their trust in Allah, then He alone is sufficient for them." (Qur'an 65:3) We took a step forward to portray the décor on the most energetic color to once again draw your attention towards this precious spiritual healing verse. To let your interior and soul have the feelings of excitement, enthusiasm and warmth; along with having the confidence of faith.  🏵️ 3D Papercut Typography combined with layer ...

Don't we often find a door closed in front of us and blame our fate for missing the opportunity? What if Allah is protecting you from a danger! "But Allah is your protector and He is the best of helpers" (Al Imran: 150) We came across this meaningful and timely quote in Ramadan 2020, when people were too facing closed doors and cancelled opportunities because of the sudden hit of COVID-19. We wanted to portray these words in an artistic and purposeful manner to spread a spark of hope out there from us. The worn out closed door, brick by brick construction of life, and the quote itself coming in layers of highs and lows are all composed together on 10"x7" Wooden Framework. When one door closes; Allah opens many more doors for you, in order to give you something better. It's a matter of time and patience. So don't keep looking back at that closed door, see it as a blessing from Allah. Have complete trust on Him, seek help and always be grateful. These phas...

The elder sister was about to move abroad all of a sudden! The younger brother, partner in crime, wanted to gift something memorable to his dear sister at the very last moment. He definitely wanted her to remember some crazy yet precious moments of siblings growing up together. He thought of them arguing at little cause is the thing they're going to miss the most. Such intriguing idea had to be portrayed with the layers of paper just in a day! As per listening to the themes, we started developing ideas to portray and designing the picture in this 5"x5" tiny Wooden Framework. Siblings illustrated as they used to quarrel in the form of silhouette . Thinking of the memories; portrayed with the thought bubble. The color red is used to represent the vivid, sensory experience called Flashbacks . As Karen White says, 'They say that no matter how old you become, when you are with your siblings, you revert back to childhood.' No matter how much you fight, you're goin...
