Muhammed Alkhatib, known by his stage name Emy Kat, is a researcher, visual artist, and photographer.
Career
Kat began his career in 1997, focusing on fashion photography, portraits, and commercial advertising.
In 2013, he began working in a technique in contemporary art that he refers to as a "digital collage" or "Mental Spaces."[1][2] Kat participated in several local and international shows in 2014, including the 21,39 Jeddah Arts inaugural exhibition Moallaqat (2014),[3] Art Dubai (2014),[4][5] and Paris Photo (2014).[6]
