Hayat Nazer

Sculptor and visual artist

Making art is how I talk to myself and to the divine: to understand, to ask, to pray. I work between Beirut and Dubai.

About her

Hayat Nazer

from aid work to sculpture

I worked in humanitarian aid before I made sculpture. In 2017 I left that work to build with my hands. I use what events leave behind: rubble, broken glass, scrap metal, the objects people drop.

Available now
