About The Series
—
' The most important things in the world cannot be heard or even said - unless they are touched - they must be felt with the heart. Language is the incomplete translation of feelings. '
HANDS, HEARTS, SKINS, EYES.' is a series that explores the hollowness of words within the realm of communication, rooted in the challenges of today's life and its various forms of contact and touch. In an age where we create countless ways to connect, there is a growing potential to feel hurt and vulnerable when our words are not truly heard, as the essence of communication seems to diminish in both virtual and physical realities—left unheard and untouched. Through poetic and metaphorical approaches, the works emphasise the invisible aspects of language (words), focusing on feelings and perceptions, while drawing inspiration from the human body and gestures as the essence of reception and communication.

INSTALLATIONS
Title: BLINDNESS
—
Repetition Sculpture Installation

Year: 2021
Total Arts Gallery, Dubai, UAE
The study of our brain and nervous system shows that we experience a significant amount of "blindness" when we blink, but we hardly notice it. This challenges the common belief that we are constantly seeing when we are awake, which raises several questions about our perception.
The "blindness installation" symbolically represents how our understanding of reality can be incomplete or distorted. By focusing on how we see and interpret things, it makes us think about what we know. It's like a mirror that reflects questions about the gap between what we perceive and what we're sure of. This installation strives to create a question, challenging our certainty to open up discussions about the complexities of human perception.
The "blindness installation" features a series of eyeball-like sculptures placed on the floor-level installation, depicting a blinking action that turns into a stop-motion depending on the viewer's choice and action to step around the installation. Viewers become integral to the installation as they control what they see. Their movements determine the direction of the "eyeballs" and the pace of the blinking. Whether they walk or stand affects the installation's arrangement, creating a sense that the viewer has control over what they see.
