Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork featured in the image presents a visually striking contrast between the vibrant, oversized floral image and the dilapidated, industrial setting. The bold colors and soft, ethereal quality of the flower image are juxtaposed against the worn, weathered textures of the crumbling walls and ceiling. The composition draws the viewer's eye to the central focus of the artwork, creating a sense of tension between the natural and artificial elements. The artist's use of this unexpected juxtaposition suggests a commentary on the relationship between the natural world and the human-built environment, inviting the viewer to consider the interplay between the two. ...

Artist
Farah Al Qasimi
B.1991, Emirati

Working primarily with photography, video and performance, Farah Al Qasimi (b. 1991, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates) examines postcolonial structures of power, gender and taste in the Gulf Arab states. Dividing her time between Dubai and New York, Al Qasimi has integrated her practice as a social critique and observation of the layered aspects of each place indirectly. Through her bold and vibrant photographs, she explores the unspoken social norms and values embedded in a place, a moment or an object. Her thought-provoking images act as an invitation for the viewer to sense the unspoken boundaries that govern the scenes which they catch a glimpse of. Al Qasimi’s recent works challenge the viewer to consider their own understanding of reality, aspiration, individuality and the reflected image. In series such as 'Funhouse', Al Qasimi demonstrates her skill with mise-en-scene in photographs that are richly detailed, evoking a tromp-l’oeil effect, which are at turns delightful, delirious and disturbing. Elsewhere, the artist creates works that confront commonplace notions of figurative photography and portraiture. ...
