Doodles

Not Available
Location: Photography Studio

We invite you to join us for yet another transformation of the Photography Studio into a concept never before seen at MAS, with Emirati artist Hend Almurid.

The concept behind this highly detailed work of art is clearly in its intricate doodles. If you look closely at the designs, you will realize the drawings are composed of abstract lines without lifting the pen from the paper. Now imagine an entire space covered in large doodles, with each wall highlighting a different pattern.
