Ahmad Meryam Hassan // Biet Biet

 

The project explores my experience of feeling like a stranger in my own home, and the moment I found belonging - within my bed.

As a 6-year-old, I pondered life, particularly God and religion, yet never received satisfactory answers. I've always wrestled with questions of faith and belonging to God, reflecting on my life's journey. My bed became a place of tranquillity and belonging, where I could be just myself, without covers. The collection delves into the ecstasy of faith, asking profound questions about belonging from various angles, and how it relates to God. Today, I can look back on my life's course, contemplate it, strive to feel a sense of belonging, and still maintain my individuality. The collection is designed for both men and women. In its design, I drew inspiration from three central sources: firstly, memories of wearing my mother's religious garments and draping my father's blazer over them. Secondly, I contemplated the people circulating around the ka’aba, seeking to understand the movement and intimate atmosphere there. Lastly, I captured the moments of introspection received from within the bed.
