Typography in transition

Referencing Mehar's connection to Doha, the title moves through a melted typographic transition between English and Arabic.

The central image reinterprets the idea of a caged heart through a skeletal torso holding a strawberry in place of the heart, keeping the work slightly uncanny while giving it a more playful quality.
