Sifr - Works in Pigment and Indian Muslin
Sifr صفر is an ongoing series of work that is an attempt to render zero, (Sifr in Arabic )that symbolizes the ethereal essence underlying all phenomena that begins with a void or nothing and impregnates in it infinite possibilities. Matter is whirled like a dervish in a performative act that results in a conical form. These handmade cones - many hundred thousands of them - corporate in themselves chance encounter with the environment with each passing gesture, arising a new familiarity each time. Medium runs as a common reed through all works constantly exploring possibility of its being in relation to its current reality. Various cultural, philosophical, scientific, and personal references make the rendering of these works deeply subjective and readily open ended at the same time.
