Zahrah Al-Ghamdi made this piece, called The House, with earth. The whole thing has a crumbly texture, and I get a real sense of the hand in the making; it’s process made visible. The way the earthy material clumps together makes me think of a kind of controlled chaos. The artist has taken something so elemental, so grounded, and built it up, layer by layer. The color, a muted brown, speaks to the earth's origins, and the way it’s been applied gives it this incredible tactile quality. You can almost feel the weight and density of it. Look closely, and you'll see how each little piece contributes to the whole, like individual memories forming a collective history. It's like Louise Nevelson's monochromatic wood sculptures, but made of earth! Ultimately, The House is a reminder that art is about more than just the finished product; it’s about the journey, the process, and the stories we tell along the way. It's a conversation, an exchange, and an ongoing exploration of what it means to be human.
