You might remember this my recent text of adornment of -continuum exhibition that is now in Aisha Alabbar Gallery. Well, I decided to go a bit deeper.
To put it short, opened on September 18, 2024, -continuum is a must-see for art lovers, culture enthusiasts, and anyone interested in exploring life’s grand narrative through unusual works. The fusion of kinetic and scientific pillars together with art.
Created by Armin Najib, -continuum is a journey through the evolution of human existence, tracing our transformation from the fluidity of circles, symbolising early life’s organic flow, to the rigidity of squares, representing modern life’s structured, self-imposed boundaries.
At the heart of the exhibition is the “Me, I and Existence” series — a collection that serves as a visual metaphor for humanity’s shift from living harmoniously with nature to seeking meaning in the confines of man-made structures. “Like a script for directing a movie, these pieces form a visual narrative of humanity’s shift,” Armin explains. Each piece in the exhibition invites viewers to reflect on the layers of history we build around ourselves and how these layers cocoon us, shaping who we are and how we move forward.
