About the Artist

Shama Alsuwaidi is a multidisciplinary artist based in the UAE. Her multidisciplinary practice spans painting, sculpture, and installation, through which she explores the transient nature of being, the intersection of dreams and conscious experience, and the cyclical relationships between life, death, and perception. Working through intuitive processes, she draws from her dream journal as a primary source of inspiration, incorporating recurring elements such as glass marbles to symbolize reflection, fragility, and the human desire for understanding. Shama was part of Alreeshah Studio and has exhibited at Sikka Art Fair 2024, among other exhibitions. Her practice continues to investigate the dialogue between inner worlds and collective experience through material experimentation and immersive installations.

Installation 

This performance and installation explores human existence through minimalist figures and a monumental clock. Each figure represents emotional states revisited throughout life, from seeking light to finding solace in others. As the clock gradually fills with marbles, it marks the passage of time and symbolizes spiritual and mental evolution, shaping a shared collective identity.
