El Bebat (The Construction Pipes), 2023

This textile piece captures the lively and dynamic essence of Qatar's urban scenery, particularly its bustling construction sites.

Employing a minimalist approach and employing bold, captivating hues, this artwork presents a striking visual depiction of these pivotal components intricately involved in the construction process.

Alongside the pipes, the rug also showcases a couple of trucks transporting these large-scale pipes, imparting a sense of motion and vigor to the composition.
