"Emirati artist Alia Lootah presents a new body of work in her latest solo exhibition, creating diverse media, including painting, drawing and sculpture. Unified through the idea of unfinished forms — or, as suggested by the exhibition title “In the Space of Becoming,” states caught between inception and completion — the works explore form as something animate and continually in transformation. At the heart of the exhibition are Lootah’s sculptural works, many which incorporate textiles both as a mode of creation and as a metaphor for perpetual change. The dichotomy between softness and structure also emerges as the artworks oscillate between textures and materials — dualities that are central to her artistic practice."
