Dubai, United Arab Emirates (CNN) — When we hear the word “cave”, we think of a cold dark place, and a group of people who use simple tools to help them live, reuse them over and over once more to make out of them a form of life we call (primitive).
But Rania, Zina and their mother have a different point of view that may intersect with our imagination at some points. Their cute “cave” is your warm, colorful space, where each item has its own story. His companions decided to get rid of him when he became obsolete and useless, and at this moment it was the turn of these three ladies to revive him once more.
“We go back to our cave, or Kave, as we call it, which is our project that we launched back in the era of simplicity and sustainability, where people make only what they need, and try to use things for as long as possible,” Zina tells CNN in Arabic.
At Kave, there are various activities between art, culture, cooking, workshops and other activities that attract people who are united by a love of sustainability and recycling, a passion for learning, a quest for self and community development and a curiosity to learn regarding what is new from diverse cultures, different civilizations and a rich heritage. Quite simply, Kave “is an open and receptive space for anyone who loves art and creativity and is curious to learn and develop society,” says Rania.
But this was a challenge for them, as they believed that the high cost of living in the Emirates pushes these young talents and abilities to leave in search of stability, and thus lose their target audience of artists and amateurs.
In the beginnings, the two young women, Zina and Rania, had enthusiasm and enthusiasm to implement this project, and on the other hand, their mother had a different kind of fear: “In the beginning, all I was afraid of was wasting their efforts in vain, and I was thinking what if the project did not succeed, what if We failed, but when we started working and I saw their enthusiasm, I said to myself that we will consider it an experience, because life is experiences.”
This experience was the product of childhood memories that were rooted in Rania and Zeina’s minds regarding their mother, and she preserves the spirit contained in every bottle of perfume, or an empty bottle that she colors and decorates to chart for her a new life cycle. “The child is like a sponge absorbing everything he sees and living with it,” says the mother.
And here they are now making, from what they learned in childhood, a cave in which they secure their livelihood and achieve themselves and draw big dreams in it. “.
