Unseen
Asfeer approached this work with an intention of ambiguity, creating what may be perceived as nothing more than a circle. Yet the circle holds the names of Abdulla Elagha’s martyred family members, all children under 18.
They do not present themselves all at once. From a distance they appear as texture, almost inconsequential. From far away, suffering and pain become merely a shape, a pattern, and therefore easy to pass over. As one approaches, the names appear gradually, each pressed against the other as a woven thread with no beginning and no end. Without hierarchy and without punctuation.
Asfeer reflects how distance flattens reality. Challenging the viewers to slow down, step closer, and stay, allowing the work to speak. That absence of structure reflects the sorrow of loss.
Continuous, endless, and without resolution.

“The exhibition asks a quiet question of the viewer. What happens when you step closer?”
