Farah Al Qasimi takes us into her kaleidoscopic world, where, beyond their beauty and softness, the patterns and objects she captures embody contradictions. For her, they talk about who we are, our context and our way of relating. We sometimes see how something designed for beauty can be completely weathered or used in an unintended way. That failure – eventual andunavoidable imperfection – feels like a human characteristic to the artist. She confesses she has empathy for objects, almost granting them souls. Sensitive to ideas of longevity andoverconsumption, she observes their travels between cultures and how they are reimagined depending on the environment. Dating back to childhood and her love for a particular Persian rug, motifs are key for Farah Al Qasimi, who sees them as windows into universes of their own.
