In Portals, architect and artist Sahel al Hiyari presents three site-specific sculptural installations in the interconnecting spaces of Darat al Funun’s Main Building, taking a new direction in his work. Using the language of form, texture, and line, and with a minimal number of simple materials, each of the rooms is subtly transformed. The installations question familiar boundaries, affect the senses, and provide a psychological effect “in order to access and cross the portals embedded within the human psyche”.
