ARTIST
Bassam Al Sabah
ABOUT THE WORK
In front of the sun I fully exist is a computer-generated portrait of a shimmering flower. Not intended as an authentic portrayal of a particular species, this image instead invites an encounter with a flower in all its artificial beauty, its face providing an unsettling, unblinking stare.
This work is printed on Hahnemuhle Photo Rag, finely-textured cotton paper that brings out the image’s high density and vivid deep colours.
*Please note this work does not come framed.
