Up Against The Wall
(2011)
300 x 70 x 10 cm
Fluorescent tube light, acrylic and kandora
Cities like Dubai have been able to modernize by embracing technology and globalization. The majority of people living here are foreigners and that has caused curiosity and focus on what the actual local culture is, and from the local side it has caused an identity crisis of sorts as they are now pressed to verify who they are. In this piece a kandora is held up high by a rod of light, letting you see it from far away, but at the same time it is immobilized and pressed against the wall.
Exhibited:
Art Dubai, Dubai 2012
