Born in Kuwait in 1974, Ala´ Younis graduated with a B.Sc. in Architecture from the University of Jordan in 1997. Her work, which is displayed in Jordan and internationally, was first exhibited at the French Cultural Center in Amman in 2004. It originates from personal experiences and memories which she ties to thoroughly researched collective conditions, thereby subtly touching on the position of individuals in a world that is politically driven.
