A Friend called Grief


Omar Aly

MA DVC 2024/25













This project explores grief as both a shared and a deeply personal experience, not something to hide from, but something to embrace, witness, and honour. Through art and design, it invites people of all ages to engage with loss as a natural part of life, not as an interruption. It is also a difficult journey, one that shapes us, strengthens us, and adds new layers to who we are.

What we feel in the wake of losing someone is not weakness, but a testament to love and connection, a sign that we have cared deeply, and that through that care, we are transformed. This piece gently opens a space where healing can begin.
