About the Artwork

Jaafar Alhaddad’s installation seeks to translate this notion of manifestation into a sensory, tangible, and spiritual experience. Upon entering the room, visitors are confronted with their own reality, encouraged to engage deeply with their personal experiences. A mirror above, surrounded by a field of equally bright light, invites introspection and self-reflection, offering a profound connection with the self.

Through his work, Jaafar systematically challenges concepts and transcends boundaries in his relentless pursuit of understanding the human relationship with place. This exploration was first evident in his 2019 exhibition, City of Longing/East, where he delved into the intricate dynamics between people, architecture, and urban fabric.
