About the project

Buthayna Ali draws images, signs and objects from their proveniences and territories to explore them in other directions than those imposed by cultural conventions. Her process of abstraction aims at the inner strength of a visual rather than pure form or geometry. She subjects images, signs and objects which are part of common and daily life to their semantic implications. Through small modifications and shifts she induces individuality and at the same time multiplies them in series. Via positions and pattern she engenders references, via space and light relations.

Together with Bayan Al-Sheikh she is invited to work site-specific.
