Rapid transformations, while markers of progress, risk the loss of aspects now insufficiently documented or forgotten. Maryam's innovative response employs carpets, with profound significance in the Arab world, to narrate and preserve the stories of the current cultural landscape, ensuring the nuanced details of Qatar's evolution are captured and remembered.
Native	متأثرة بثلاثين عامًا من التغيرات الديناميكية في قطر، تصنع مريم المنسوجات كأداة توثيق مهمة. إن التحولات السريعة، رغم كونها علامات على التقدم، فإنها تخاطر بفقدان جوانب لم يتم توثيقها بشكل كاف أو منسية. تستخدم استجابة مريم المبتكرة السجاد، الذي يتمتع بأهمية عميقة في العالم العربي، لسرد قصص المشهد الثقافي الحالي والحفاظ عليها، مما يضمن التقاط التفاصيل الدقيقة لتطور قطر
