Adel Abidin: Al Warqaa

Mixed Media Installation

This work is inspired by Ibn Sina’s poem (Avicenna), which compares the journey of the soul to the flight of a dove. In his verses the soul represents a timeless, ethe-real entity that soars beyond the body after death. It signifies eternity, detached from the heavenly sphere. A suspended object radiates light and depicts an intan-gible outline of a dove reflecting this concept through a visual language.
