entrance of the egytian pavilion
askalany's sculpture presents itself as an empty appearance, displaying fragility.
the sculpture is produced with simple techniques, similar to a girl's hair weaving,
with natural colored
palm leaves. the work aims to captivate the essential gestures
and shapes of a humanity free from aggressiveness and a dark side.
'simplicity is my philosophy – to convey the idea directly to the viewer without
going into detail.' - ahmed askalany
