Hande Erçel Explores How “Art Is All Around Us” in Anticipation of the Inaugural Vogue Arabia Ball: Art Edition

The Turkish actress stars in a captivating campaign film shot at Dubai’s immersive AYA Universe.

Dubai, UAE, 26 October 2026 — Turkish actress Hande Erçel explores the beauty of everyday creativity in a captivating film shot at Dubai’s immersive AYA Universe, ahead of the inaugural Vogue Arabia Ball: Art Edition on 13 November at Delano Dubai.

For Hande, the concept reflects her belief that creativity exists far beyond traditional artistic mediums.

“To me, the campaign is a reminder that art is not only something we make; it can also be found in the way we live, feel, and connect with the world around us. Every person carries a story, and each of us has our own way of expressing it. I find that incredibly beautiful.”
