An Ecology for a Green Glass
An un[natural] assembly exploring the ecological metamorphosis occurring within the coastal landscape of the UAE, dissecting the ramifications of modern developments on its natural ecologies. This installation, modular in its construction, unveils a sculptural ecological imaginary—one of a verdant glass within an era dominated by gridded glass cities.
The landscape's modular construction synthesizes traditional sand bricks casting methods into into crystalline glass formations through inflicting extreme temperatures. This deliberate fusion serves as a symbol encapsulating the profound ecological repercussions imposed by the proliferation of glass cities on the delicate fabric of the natural environment.
The installation which is an outcome of a year long art fellowship with the Rhode Island School of Design invites contemplation on the aesthetic facets of sculptural landscape while prompting a reflection on the broader ecological discourse.
