Look Deeper - Text driven installation in which the viewer, as subject, is actively and creatively exploring one’s own personal and individual essence. The installation consists of a large, double-sided reflective structure placed in the middle of the gallery. The text element is illuminated and embedded behind the reflective panel- hinting at the piece’s introspective nature and illustrating how essence comes from within, though it is often hidden behind a shell. In order to create a moment of thoughtfulness and interaction in the gallery setting, intriguing phrases and questions are formed before one’s eyes. Ultimately, the wall addresses viewers directly and helps them in the discovery on who they are on the inside. Further, many letters on the wall and floor are flipped, which makes them legible only when viewed on the reflective panels. The intricate nature of the letters, juxtaposed with the two-way mirror, dares the viewer to look deeper. As the viewer get closer, the reflective sculpture reveals an engaging hidden question about one’s essence: Who are you? من أنت This offers a space for reflection and interaction with others and ourselves. The “Who are you?” encourages us to wrestle with our true essence and suggests that there is more to a person than one’s reflection. - Sharjah Calligraphy Biennial 2018 Sharjah Art Museum, Sharjah United Arab Emirates - #lookdeeper #SharjahCalligraphyBiennial2018 #scb8 #UAE #Sharjah #Essence #textsculpture #textart #artinstallation #spatialinstallation #contemporaryart #wordbasedart #publicart #self #reflection #whoareyou #calligraphy #caligrafía (at Dubai, Sharjah)
