НазваниеAliph (1 of 3)
СоздательAhmad Abu Bakar
ОписаниеAliph is a suite of ceramic sculptures that takes off from the first letter of the Arabic alphabet and harnesses the curvilinear form of the stroke that represents the letter to suggest the circumference of a circle. For Abu Bakar, the circle is a symbol vested with culturally specific meaning that in turn informs his personal and religious world view.
“The first letter in the Arabic alphabet, it is the nucleus for thinking on notions related to beginnings or inceptions and for developing requisite form; the composition is made up of distinct units that are linked to one another, culminating in curved, pointed endings.” (Past, Present , Beyond: Re-nascence of an Art Collection, Page 68)
