It all began while visiting her best friend in Syria early last year...an idea was born... to paint on a Fez. While in Damascus, AlHassan commissioned the best craftsman in the industry to make around 120 Fez pieces in the traditional style and then cover each with white canvas. This all came before the uprising in Syria and as the result of many experiments and tests. All the pieces were then sent to AlHassan and her journey was launched.
