In this series, abandoned chairs become the central sculptural form,
abstracted into monuments of memory. Once scattered across courtyards
and thresholds, the chair embodies rest, gathering, and continuity, markers
of everyday life and social rhythms in Ghayathi. Transformed into durable
sculptural objects, the chairs transcend their function to stand as vessels of
communal history. They reflect the evolution of small towns across the UAE,
where traditional rhythms of life are slowly replaced by new urban realities.
As sculptural testimony, these chairs preserve what is fragile and fleeting,
carrying forward traces of a community’s shared existence.
