Untitled (Mother Trade Sitting 2)
Bale structures, used fishing ropes, recycled nylon fabrics
80 x 380 x 120cm

This work is part of a series of public sitting structures SERAPIS first made for Sharjah Biennial 16. They are modular arrangements made from blocks of used clothing transportation bags, collected from local garment redistribution facilities. Each of the modules is completed with a piece of hand-treated recycled nylon fabric, tied on the bag with used fishing ropes. They serve as sculptures for observation and contemplation, offering different viewpoints of the water and the port.

The artistic installation will be on view throughout the Festival and accessible during Festival opening hours.
