Through a series of paintings and drawings, ranging from reality and modernity to the simple and the complex, the collection reflects on moments inspired by Al Mannai’s time while in residence at Cité internationale des Arts in Paris in 2019, as part of the Fire Station’s international exchange program.
“Each of our experiences differ in place and time, existing in parallel worlds. These combined moments speak of time and feelings occurring over days and years. I contemplate these moments experienced through our reality and imagination, freezing them through a photograph or painting,” Al Mannai said.
