Here, the British artist presents a sculpture inspired by a famous woodblock print first created by Katsushika Hokusai. Considered one of the most recognisable images in art history, Hokusai's artwork is often read as a symbol of nature's power and the fragility of human lives. White translates this image into a structure constructed from fragments of blown-out tyres collected from roadsides around the world. At the centre of the exhibition are two monumental sculptures, The Great Wave (after Hokusai) and another piece from White's celebrated Black Palm Series. Together, they depict a charged environment in which industrial materials appear to take on the forms and energies of natural phenomena. 25.142953260490923,55.225282953464855

The showcase highlights the power of art as a bridge to access the imagination of the artists who may not share a written language. While Zarina's presentation is focused on two bodies of works titled Urdu Proverbs and Home is a Foreign Place, Kazim presents Alphabets, which is like a dictionary of South Asian urban and pastoral landscapes.
