Her work reflects her personal experience growing up in Libya and living through societal shifts and changes.

Malak holds a Bachelor’s degree in Multimedia Design from the American University of Sharjah and is an alumna of the Salama Emerging Artist Fellowship (SEAF).

Through her work, Malak continues her ongoing exploration and curiosity to understand the cultural and societal shifts occurring in the MENA region. Her unique perspective, shaped by her personal experiences, allows her to capture the essence of these transformations in a deeply thoughtful and reflective manner.
