ghutra sequence
textile and light space installation
commissioned project artdubai 2007
sharjah art museum 2008
Viewers are invited to enter, read, touch and interact with the installation. The complexity and repetition of imagery and motifs within Islamic architectural systems are combined with an object of apparel. The ghutra is selected due to it’s iconic cultural significance. Taken out of context this object unifies the wearer.
We are led beyond surface illusion to a deeper significance.
