    Asma Belhamar’s work explores the phenomenon of the 'megastructure' in the UAE and confronts the visual memory of local landscapes. Her design-based practice reflects her interest in surface and pattern design. She makes fabric and paper wall installations, experimenting with printing and projection techniques in her construction of three-dimensional structures. Informed by her interdisciplinary background in art and design, her wide range of approaches and materials offer a theoretical perspective on the architectural languages and aesthetic practices within the built environment. Belhamar has exhibited in several UAE shows. In 2017, she received an MFA in Textile Design from the Rhode Island School of Design.  Today, she is assistant professor at the College of Arts and Creative Enterprises at Zayed University in Dubai.
