During the artist residency at The Firestation in Doha, and in partnership with Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art, I was asked to reinterpret an artwork from the Egyptian artist Mahmoud Mokhtar. After doing some research about the artist and his work, i found a particular interest in two of his sculptures: «El Fallahah» and «El Khamaseen». Inspired by the concepts behind Mokhtar´s work and as an homage, I created digital sculptures/images following the original artworks.

Khamaseen is what Egyptians call the wind-driven sand storms that take place every spring.“El Khamaseen”is one of Mokhtar’s most iconic statues, made in 1929. It portrays a woman going against the strong wind, representing persistence at the time of the British occupation.
