Background

About Aaqifa Altaf

I am a Graphic Designer who passionately explores the spaces between the digital and the hand made in my work. I have a deep interest in the concept of creation and combining hands-on and digital processes, to discover new landscapes of making. The poetic, organic beauty of natural methods with the controlled flexibility of the digital is a common theme in the production of my work. My creative work spans a range of projects including -but not limited to- an Architecture themed card game that explores the transitioning community and cityscape of Qatar, a book on the shifting concept of memory through the collection of digital storage devices, and a typographic installation of floating words that seeks to expand the concept of the word charity, inspired by the beauty of its Arabic counterpart, Sadaqa. Based in Doha, Qatar.
