A  'Hi' call for socializing

 Interactive installation ​

​A 'Hi' call for socializing :

Abu Hurairah reported the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) as saying:
By him in whose hand my soul is, you will not enter Paradise until you believe, and you will not believe until you love one another: should I not guide you to something doing which you
​ will love one another: spread out salutation among you.


- Doha, Qatar - 2021

- Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism

"A HI Call" is an interactive installation designed to underscore the significance of interaction in our public spaces and initiate a dialogue about the layered community within the Qatari community.

This installation depends on an intelligent sensor system, requiring a minimum of two individuals to engage its distinctive features. Structurally, it takes inspiration from the Arabic Mushrabia concept, presented in a modern style with mirrors integrated into each surface. The mirrors are strategically positioned based on mathematical equations to create openings. As two individuals stand on opposite sides of an element, they observe their reflections on the mirror. Simultaneously, at eye level, they encounter the eyes and face of the other person.

Functioning within a dark, ambient space, the installation remains inactive until two people activate it from opposing sides. Two sensors and lights on either side of the installation work in tandem. The circuit activates only when one person stands on the first side and another on the opposite side, resulting in the simultaneous illumination of lights. This action unveils the reflections of both individuals, fostering a unique visual dialogue.

This captivating unit is replicated 20 times within a space, creating a group interaction that highlights the interconnectedness between strangers.

​It is a nice reflection for the concept of the social bubbles and the cracks that might happen in the isolation shells that we agreed to live in nowadays.

A crack of courage and curiosity which push people to use those possible channels of communication with each other.

​It is a boundary that gives you privacy but allows you to obtain the benefits of opening at the same time.

It is a nice reflection for the concept of the social bubbles and the cracks that might be happen in the isolation bubbles we all have.
