Collaboration with designer Fady H. Salamé.
Interactive sculpture inspired by the intersection of light, geometry, material, and the arts of calligraphy, poetry and storytelling.
A “dual” Arabic typeface exploring the interplay of a solid, reflective figure and its hollow mirrored image, is center stage to every face of the seven superposed cubes. The work varies drastically from a monolith to a playful composition as cubes are rotated, highlighting the very nature of light, reflection, shadow and perception, while creating endless shifting narratives.
