The collection is called “Redivivus” because that means to reuse or bring back to life.
We salvaged the five barrels from garbage skips in Bateen. They were original packaging for swimming pool chlorine. The concept behind this project is to recycle unwanted objects into art pieces that can inspire and be used for decoration.
I decorated the five 75 gallon barrels with acrylic paint.
Each piece has a different name and theme. Each barrel is inspired by doodles, puzzles, and different elements that surround us everyday. One piece stands out. It was inspired by Bridget Riley, one of my favourite artists, and the piece is called ‘movement in squares’.
