Alexandrian Desert Dreams imagines a speculative future in which rising sea levels and ecological collapse displace Alexandrians into desert settlements. Rather than portraying disaster directly, the tapestries envisions a quiet, almost utopian scene of communal gathering, leisure, and water-centered life shaped by the memory of ancient cistern cultures. The work holds a tension between serenity and precarity, using this imagined future to reflect on climate displacement, adaptation, and collective survival.
