Hamad & Ali

Hamad and Ali, two artists with a vision to explore the limits of concepts and design from around the world. With one mission, to launch a new perspective and understanding bringing these designs in the form of art and creative consultancy at your service.

Exploring one’s roots and developing a relationship with one’s home is a universal journey that usually triggers unusual reactions. When we examine the history of Kuwait, we never think to deviate from the picturesque textbook renditions we grew up with, from post-card perfect images of the beautiful Kuwait towers to visiting architectural monuments embodied by the historic dhow ships. We are always impressed and often proud yet triggering the ephemeral notion of forming a strong connection with one’s home could only be achieved by living an experience.
In Reminiscing Kuwait II, Hamad and Ali have undoubtedly triggered a series of commanding, and gently poignant, patriotic emotions often overlooked by most. Connecting with one’s home is connecting with one’s roots, the nature of life as it once was. Perhaps innocently portraying a visual reflection of the traditional classroom is alien to the youth of our modern society, yet it connects one with the idyllic and simplistic process of learning in a community. Today, this process is no longer idyllic, yet it is replaced by a series of demanding curricula and complicated requirements, isolating the youth from becoming active members of their communities.
