Waad AlBawardi is a Saudi visual artist and molecular biology researcher based in Edinburgh, Scotland. Her artistic practice explores complex patterns in nature and emergent behaviours in biological and physical systems. She uses transdisciplinary approaches merging scientific methods with creative exploration, incorporating creative programming, microscopy, and experimental lab techniques to explore the unseen forces that shape our environment.
