DESERT KITE

The work is based on evoking the memory of archeological traps that were discovered in several sites in Saudi Arabia by planes several decades ago.

 

The artist was inspired by viewing the four animals and mythical creatures placed over the historic tombs of AlUla to protect their owners in the post-mortem stage, as the Nabateans and the ancient Arabs who settled in AlUla believed. 

 

In his work, the artist tries to create a unique experience for the viewer. Once inside the work, the viewer feels isolated from the world around him. When reaching the end, a meditation space can be found next to an urn-like sculpture embossed with four protective symbols traditionally used in Nabatean tombs.
