Dubbed the \u201cWaha\u201d exhibition, Shakeel takes all who enter into an otherworldly desert scene radiating with undulating crystal-covered dunes beneath a night sky. While in the immersive exhibition, you can walk into Shakeel\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/articles\/fashion-swarovski-and-amina-muaddi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Swarovski crystal<\/a>-covered tent, where you will discover more of her bewitching creations that blend fantasy with reality. When speaking on the project, Shakeel has noted that &#8220;&#8216;Oasis&#8217; is my way of interpreting an oasis and a haven from the daily hustle and bustle, and for me it symbolizes hope, fertility and holiness.&#8221; This exhibition is Sara Shakeel\u2019s ode to the wealth of beauty found in the desert and a dedication to the Saudi people that you won\u2019t want to miss.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CXCShXPIlbN\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
