Back to life. Back to school. Back to the (temporary) humidity. Back to friends. Back to gatherings. Back to wondering what’s going to happen next with this never-ending back-and-forth tug of war (no pun intended!).
And what better way to ease back into the rhythm of September than with a little curiosity? This month, we meet Kuwaiti artist Meshail Faisal AlJummah, whose wonderfully strange, unsettling, and endlessly intriguing work asks us to look twice, and then perhaps once more. Our Truth or Dare candidate reveals the person behind those watchful eyes, including a few answers that are every bit as unexpected as her art.
We also spend time with photographer and entrepreneur Abdullah Albenayan, whose approach to life is less about finding one perfect path and more about building a life that leaves room for the things he loves. From engineering and entrepreneurship to travel and photography, his story is ultimately about curiosity, adaptability, and learning by doing.
