This speculative multimedia project reimagines Failaka Island as a living ecological archive, narrated by non-human custodians, species who have inhabited it across time immemorial. Through their voices, the island’s layered histories—from ancient civilizations to the displacements of the 1990–91 Gulf War—are revealed as ecological memory, transforming ruins and artifacts into portals for storytelling and reflection.

Central to the project is a graphic novel that maps these intertwined narratives, structuring an immersive walkthrough paired with an interactive audio guide. Sculptures embedded in the landscape, equipped with QR codes, extend the experience: visitors access monologues in Arabic and English, giving voice to the characters’ perspectives and memories.

By blending storytelling, spatial exploration, and public engagement, the project activates new approaches to heritage practice. It positions architecture as a mediator between history, environment, and imagination, proposing inclusive, experimental, and ecologically attuned ways of sustaining memory.
