Description:
Now on view the Alternator Main Gallery is All That Time Has Woven, All It Has Unraveled, by Ibrahim Shuaib.
This exhibition presents an ongoing series rooted in self-discovery, where culture, spirituality, and the passage of time intersect. It's a narrative that reflects the dual nature of Shuaib’s journey, capturing the innocence of youth and the complexity of adulthood. Central to this series is his use of traditional rugs as a canvas, a deliberate choice rooted in the rich symbolism these objects hold within his Islamic heritage.These are silent companions to our daily rituals, ever-present witnesses to moments of prayer, family gatherings, and quiet reflection.
The rug represents an untold story, each pattern a chapter in his book of life, each memory a splatter, where moments of joy, sorrow, triumph, and tribulation are interwoven. Each artistic stroke represents a distinct era, manifesting memories and subtle impressions that weave into a textured and evolving tapestry, honouring both Shuaib’s personal and collective heritage.
“All That Time Has Woven, All It Has Unraveled,” will be on view in the Alternator’s Main Gallery from November 7 - December 19, 2025.
