Aisha Alabbar Gallery is pleased to present Thread of Existence, a group exhibition features two UAE-based artists: Elham Shafaei, Sara Al Haddad.
Sara Al Haddad and Elham Shafaei weave the intricate threads of their artistic journeys, diving deep into the profound themes of loss and belonging through their unique creative expressions. Sara, skillfully crafts delicate objects from yarn and fiber, not just occupying spaces but embodying the passage of time itself. Each piece, whether hung, wrapped, or arranged, whispers stories of Sara's inner struggles, subtly evolving with its environment.
Meanwhile, Elham, embarks on diverse artistic explorations within her studio, blending painting and stitching to explore the essence of being human. For Elham, loss is a universal melody echoing from the very moment of our separation from the maternal embrace. Through her art, she delves into the yearning for connection, intertwining melancholic tales and stitched narratives that mirror life's intricate tapestry.
Together, Sara and Elham confront the essence of human existence—the longing for connection amid the bittersweet journey of loss. Through their chosen mediums of fiber and paint, they extend a heartfelt invitation to viewers to contemplate the depths of identity and the timeless quest for belonging. In "Threads of Existence," Sara and Elham beckon us to journey alongside them, embracing the ebb and flow of time, and embracing the eternal search for our place in the world's rich tapestry.
