Unearth / The sedimented nature of objects

UNEARTH reflects on time's passage and the cycles of decay in the natural and built environment. By reviving the essence of Bedouin tribes, I integrate elements from the origin, forming new connections and reshaping our perception of the urban landscape.

Delving into the intersection of natural and human impact, the project explores how construction materials contribute to the rapid urban expansion of the modern city, where the accumulation of objects redefines the space, blurring distinctions between location and identity. The process involves research juxtaposing archaeological images, digital archives, construction waste, and natural elements. I organize them to establish connections using textile-inspired patterns and repetitions as a rooted language. Grid-based construction unveils the city's evolution, reminiscent of geological layers beneath the metropolis. The threads, whether as stitches, knots of location, cables, or potential routes, unveils the underlying motives behind their transformation, where natural resources are buried or strategically arranged through regulated systems.

UNEARTH reflects on the passage of time and the cycles of decay and disappearance evident in both the natural and built environment.  Reviving the essence of the Bedouin tribes who, in their pursuit of sustainable resources, weave their tents as part of their architecture, my aim is to integrate elements from the origin, forming new connections and reshaping our perception of the urban landscape.
