Located in Al Fahidi Historic Neighbourhood, House 33, without, uses the neighbourhood—previously known as Al Bastakiya—as a point of reference to address the neighbourhood’s changes.
It [without] is a recreation of dust and its symbolic relationship with memories
Documenting time and tracing movement, a smaller piece of without was placed at the corner before entering the room;
grime and dust were collected from the neighbourhood corners, rooms, alleys, and courtyards and placed on the artwork
Minimal use of wire is employed to shape [the artwork] without
