WHAT IS WATER WITH WATER? An experimental publishing project and visual research lab based in Doha Qatar. W/W/W is a visual research project started by Nathan Ross Davis in 2015 with the help of Sarah Elawad. Nathan is a designer and an associate professor at Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts in Qatar. Sarah Elawad is a partner in all W/W/W projects (in academia we say Co-PI), contributing to creative direction, design production, strategy, logistics, project management, social media, and sales.

This project was designed by Sarah Elawad and Nathan Ross Davis, with production assistance from Eman Makki, and loads of images from Gihad Ataalla, Hadeer Omar, Eman Makki and Jood Elbeshti.
All the way back in 2017, Hadeer Omar started showing Nathan some of the good morning messages her family sent on their family WhatsApp group. It was the start of a casual collection, which became more and more filled with flowery daily encouragement sent between loved ones.Some of you have seen these before, some of you try to ignore them, but we are stepping in to monumentalize these not-so-trivial moments of goodwill, sentimentality and typographic innovation from your Mom (and aunts, and cousins, and coworkers, and…) Have a blessed day!!
