Abdur-Rahman, 29. GER | UK | NG
I am young Muslim, interested in the preservation of all things beautiful and profound. A cultural Worker and engineer, experimenting, learning + unlearning my way through life.
“Treading this world lightly, inspiring compassion and justice to every creature within it and appreciating its beauty as a reflection of God. Verily, in the remembrance of God do hearts find rest”
Religion
What does it mean to be human? What is a good life and how does one live it? Do you only live once? Questions I ask myself and share some of my thoughts over on my blog.
Cultural Work
Or creative work? Is the word creative laden with capitalist ideals, of individualism, of seeking money and fame? Maybe, me I am in love with beauty.
I am a freelance graphic designer, a photo and videograph, and a writer, who might sometimes share a poem or two.
Environment
I am a Chemical Engineer who grew a conscious as my best friend once said. I am a Muslim vegan, travelling this world looking for balance. Currently I study a Masters in Environmental Engineering and work at a research institute.
Politics
Now that I have talked about the controversial stuff, let’s talk about Politics. Any takers? The personal is political, I believe that. Beyond that I am still finding my way, learning and unlearning, striving for justice. While knowing that God is the Just. Accompany me along that journey!
My recent projects
VisualRemembrance – Moments in Ramadan
Videography / Edit
VisualRemembrance is a video journal of moments I want to remember, as well as moments of remembering God.

Land of Confusion -Daily Post
Do you mind if I smoke? Ehm no. Looking at the open window and his position next to it. I continue asking him about his day. Pertaining in some small talk, as some of my other room mates enter the kitchen. A box filled with beer, a vodka bottle, and a bottle of Pepsi, enters…
