Wid Al Bayati
Wid Al Bayaty’s practice engages autobiographical memory to examine obstruction, fragmentation, and rebuilding, as recurring cycles encountered through the body.
Influenced by her work in therapeutic practices, she creates drawings, collages, and installations, overlapping and combining references from human physiology, anatomical structures, and organic forms in nature.
She is a fellow of the Salama bint Hamdan Emerging Artists Program (2019) and is based in the UAE.
