Great Significance
Presented by her production company Artellosa, the “Pearls of emotions” stresses the importance of recognizing the Gulf’ s heritage and showcasing it to the international audience.

The Story
The show follows the story of a bride who bids farewell to her husband days after their marriage as she embarks on a pearl diving journey. Moreover, it consists of seven parts revolving around several emotions such as love, resilience, strength, pride, and others.
Uneasy Process
