Also at Alserkal Avenue, Lawrie Shabibi presented a show by world-renown Jordanian sculptor Mona Saudi. Poetry in Stone marked her first solo show in the UAE, and it featured seven pieces she sculpted between 2003 and 2012. As one of just a small handful of female Arab artists who sculpts, Saudi holds an important place in the region’s art scene. Despite all the civil unrest and the civil war in Lebanon she has lived through, her pieces evoke an incredible feeling of peace. She often finds herself inspired by the concepts of growth and fertility and starts with basic shapes to transform them into something new in every sculpture she creates.

The exhibition opened on May 25 and wrapped up on Thursday.
