Bahraini creative Yaqoob Alabdulla has created a map of Bahrain with signs found around the kingdom, blending cultural nostalgia and national identity.
His latest work, a map made entirely out of road signs, has drawn widespread attention for its detail, creativity and emotional resonance.
A visual design student at Bahrain Polytechnic, 20-year-old Mr Alabdulla said he is always trying to unleash creativity ‘that’s deeply tied to our heritage, but through a futuristic lens’.
The road sign map began as an abstract design experiment but quickly evolved into something much larger.
