/ˈʒɑː.nɑː ˈweh.be/
A visual artist, photographer, designer, curator, and sometimes performer. Born in Baalbek, Lebanon and now based in northern Germany, I live and create in between cultures, languages, and states of being. My work moves fluidly across photography, graphic design, performance, and curatorial projects, always guided by intuition and a deep sensitivity to emotion and form.
I’m drawn to raw moments, soft textures, and the space where vulnerability meets aesthetics — whether I’m capturing honest connections through my lens, designing visual identities, or curating spaces that uplift hybrid, migrant, and alternative voices.
Photography is my anchor, especially self-portraiture, which I use as a tool for reflection, regulation, and self-witnessing.
Alongside personal, intuitive projects, I also work on commissioned assignments, from portraits & event shootings and performances to album covers, festival visuals, and beyond — always with attention to color, typography, and deeper narrative.
At the core of it all is a commitment to real human connection. Whether I’m behind the camera or sketching a new logo, I work with intention, intuition, and care.
