From My Madinah: In pursuit of my hermitage… 2004

"From My Madinah: In pursuit of my hermitage…" is an installation by Jason Rhoades created in 2004. The artwork features a floor covered in a patchwork of patterned textiles, and above hang numerous neon signs with words like "Gash," "Happy," and "Prede." Rhoades often used materials like neon signs and fabrics in his work, creating an unsettling and chaotic atmosphere. This installation, in particular, reflects the artist's engagement with themes of consumer culture and the search for meaning and self-discovery. The jumbled and disparate elements suggest a struggle to find order and coherence within the modern world.
