Alia Hussain Lootah’s work however goes beyond such rigid divisions to embody a sense of fluidity and enfoldment. Object 1 and Object 2 (2022) for example, are shiny black aluminum sculptures, 3D extensions of her drawings. A metal wire skeleton based on the sketch is filled with foam, cardboard and plaster with the help of her children, and the sculpture’s skin made using masking tape. It is then sanded and covered with car paint from her husband’s garage.
