Borrowed Words is a bidirectional flip book tracing Arabic and English words as they visually unfold, arranged chronologically by when they entered the other language. Through shifting forms, it reveals the layered histories and exchanges that have shaped both languages across centuries.

Positioning language as a living archive, this book traces the echoes of migration, trade, and translation embedded in these words. Through these linguistic and visual shifts, Borrowed Words invites readers to reflect on language as an evolving dialogue a vessel of memory, identity, and shared human connection.
