Laila Majid and Inaam Zafar: Body Quotidian

Recent works by Laila Majid and Inaam Zafar that explore the human body and its presence in contemporary life through metaphor and symbolism. In Majid’s practice, sculptural and photographic works unfold through slow revelation; Zafar’s practice explores themes of death and decay, while foregrounding the body as a perishable entity. Bringing together these works, Body Quotidian explores how light, material, gesture and atmosphere filters bodily experience; Moving between domestic scenes and abstraction, the exhibition reflects on the quiet, everyday moments through which the body continues to shape how we see and inhabit the world.

Body Quotidian is curated by Raja’a Khalid, Assistant Curator at Sharjah Art Foundation. To 20 September.
