Remains of the Day 2018

"Remains of the Day" is a 2018 sculpture by Mona Hatoum. The work consists of a table and chairs, all made of wire mesh and coated in black paint. The chairs are arranged in a disarrayed manner, creating a sense of disorder and abandonment. Hatoum's use of wire mesh suggests a fragility and vulnerability, while the black paint emphasizes the somber and melancholic tone of the piece. This work is an example of the artist's exploration of themes of displacement, memory, and loss.
