The Emirati Paper Dolls Book
are handcrafted from paper, with each character having a unique personality that reflects aspects of life in the UAE’s past. Each character comes with its own set of clothing, which can be changed, with every outfit showcasing its own distinctive details. The current collection features four characters: Mahra ,Hessa, Mohammed and Sultan.
Every doll has a story I wrote, inspired by real people who lived during the 1950s and 1960s. My primary sources for these tales were my grandmother– may she rest in peace – and my mother with several family members and friends who shared their memories and experiences. These dolls serve as bridges between generations, preserving the stories of the past and presenting them in a vibrant, artistic way.
