Abu Dhabi artist Heba Barazi has designed a collection of rings that reference Syria’s floral heritage and shine a positive light on the war-torn country. Each ring is inspired by a poetic verse from Syrian poet Nizar Qabbani describing the beauty of Syria, as well as plants Barazi remembers from childhood visits to the country.
