The Light at the End 1989

"The Light at the End" is a 1989 installation piece by Mona Hatoum. The artwork is a stark, minimalist composition featuring a dark hallway with a metal gate in the center. Red lighting illuminates the scene and creates a sense of foreboding and uncertainty. The viewer is drawn to the end of the hallway, where the light seems to offer a path to escape or a potential danger. Hatoum's work often explores themes of confinement, isolation, and displacement, making this artwork a poignant commentary on human experience.
