The clothes reflects the rich cultural roots of UAE while combining modern style with grace and modesty. In this painting, the artist paints an elderly Emirati women in her traditional attire of shayla (headscarf) and a colorful Jalabiya gown.

The artist paints several pillows wrapped in colorful embroidery threads and an array display of ready to be used seasonal fabrics of cotton, wool or silk to create the Emirati thawb (gowns). The distinctive embroidery design, beadworks and embellishments on traditional Jalabiyas holds symbolic meaning of tribal identity, marital status, or personal stories.
