The exhibition stems from a shared sensibility between curator Cherine Magrabi and Shaha Raphael: a devotion to craftsmanship and a poetic eye for the overlooked. Seashells, long collected by Shaha for their mysterious geometry, lie at its core. Her work, shaped in the space between nature and human hand, blurs artifact and design. Low Tide celebrates shared geographies—a dialogue between Lebanon and the South of France, where the sea bridges cultural memory, material, and gesture.

Shaha Raphael is an architect and designer based in Beirut. Her practice merges architecture, craft, and geology into sculptural objects, balancing digital precision with artisanal techniques to evoke ritual, texture, and transformation.
