"We step into this universe, in an interconnected space where imagination and hope can connect us across time and space, the past and the future— on a deep level of selves and in the heart of this world."

 

"The Wave" is a sculpture installation that originates from my series of site-specific solo-day installations, which have engaged viewers in various public spaces across the UAE. Each installation consists of numerous stones, handwritten and glazed with the word 'hope,' placed at water level, where a stone would naturally be, reflecting the essence of hope. "The Wave" is a challenging translation of this public land-art installation into an indoor space, symbolising ripples and waves through the use of mirrors and lights in a floor-level installation.

"A long time ago, someone I loved gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this was a gift. It took me years to learn that darkness defies and defines brightness. When I finally discovered that, something began to grow—something that many call "hope."

 

We carry a body of darkness within us, one that we take everywhere we go. Our physical form is devoid of light. Yet, the miracle is that the closer we get to the core of our inner darkness, the brighter we become—within that very dark. The Darker, The Brighter is an experimental darkroom installation, derived from a philosophy exploring the shifting relationship between life, hope, and the future.

THE MATTER OF "IF" — HOPE" Series.  sculptures

"Soft light breaks the dark,
Petals unfurl in the dawn,
A spark in the still."


Fascinated by the narrative of material, the Hope sculpture series explores form, light, and shade in search of hope through an impressionistic, minimalist, and poetic approach.
