Sarah Bahbah

Sarah Bahbah is a Palestinian visual artist and director based in Los Angeles, and the creator of the genre-bending hybrid documentary–cinema series Can I Come In?. Through immersive film, photography, and emotionally raw narrative design, her work confronts intimacy, desire, shame, and emotional liberation, giving voice to inner thoughts often left unspoken. Born and raised in Australia to Palestinian-Jordanian immigrant parents within a culturally conservative environment, Bahbah’s upbringing sparked a rebellion through art that has since become internationally recognized for its culture-shifting visual language: cinematic imagery fused with confessional subtitles drawn directly from her inner psyche. Her work consistently travels virally, reaching hundreds of millions worldwide.

In 2016, she founded her creative agency Possy and has collaborated with global institutions including Gucci, Spotify, Conde Nast, Capitol Records, and Sony Music. As a director, she has helmed music videos for Kygo with over 100 million views. Her work has been exhibited across 25 major international galleries and fairs, including Saatchi Gallery, ZONAMACO, and Scope Art Basel. After leaving the traditional gallery system, she independently self-funded five solo exhibitions and introduced a radical “pay what you can” acquisition model, selling over 32,000 prints worldwide. Her most pivotal bodies of work include films Untangled, I ___ YOU, 3ieb! (Shame On Me!), confronting sexual liberation within cultural restriction, and Fool Me Twice, a psychological exploration of attachment theory. In 2023, she released her debut luxury fine-art book Dear Love, which sold over 15,000 copies independently. Her work has been featured in The New York Times, Forbes, Vogue, The Hollywood Reporter, The Cut, Vice and many notable sources.
