Cairo’s Soul is a 2.30 minute video that magically captures peace among Cairo’s hustle and bustle. Produced by Nermin Habib to the sound of Egyptian Project’s “Ya Amar”, the video creates imaginary pauses throughout the frenzied Egyptian routine, to find delicious moments of calmness.

“Cairo’s soul has a flavour, warmth and a rhythm that captivates people who experience it. I wanted to capture a glimpse of it by visually interpreting a calmness in all the noise, spirituality in humbleness, beauty where it is least expected and pride in the strength and resilience that the people carry within them,” says Habib.

Architecture VS. Fashion Illustrations by Shamekh Bluwi

Jordanian artist Shamekh Bluwi took the internet by storm with an innovative collection of illustration, which function as fashion and architectural designs. Bluwi creates stunning paper cut-outs, which outline the silhouettes of women’s garments and haute-couture gowns, which are filled by the scenery of the surrounding landscape and its architectural marvels. The visual artist beautifully features bustling commercial streets, urban greenery, mosaics and sunsets.

The elegant cutouts reveal the architectural and geometrical lines of several different cityscape passages, which include Cairo, New York, and Jordan among other stunning locations. Bluwi often features stunning arabesque and geometric patterns of Islamic art. They are rich in color and intricate in design. They behave as inspiration for potential dresses and design ideas.

Bluwi admits that his biggest source of inspiration is everyday life. He said to The Huffington Post: “The inspiration comes to me while driving around town,” he said. “It might be a pattern or the shape and structure of a building. I want people to see their surroundings in a different perspective.”
