Mariam Elbaz was born in Cairo in 1999 and spent her summers by the sea in Alexandria. At the age of seven, she received her first diary and began to capture the world around her in words. In doing so, she developed a keen sense for the stories that are often hidden in the small details of everyday life. Her curiosity about the world initially led her to science, but her passion for art and creativity has always remained an important part of her life. Today, she seeks ways to connect both worlds.
