︎ Title: Temporal Reverie
︎ Date: March 2019
︎ Location: Jeddah
"Temporal Reverie” is a set design project set in an abandoned supermarket in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The installation explores the themes of temporality and light, transforming the forgotten space into a realm of poetic resonance. Delicate fabric veils cascade from the weathered walls, creating an ethereal dance with the sunlit ambiance. The interplay between light and texture casts enchanting patterns and diffused glows, turning the space into a resplendent cathedral of shifting hues. Shadows intertwine with the folds, adding an enigmatic touch. This immersive installation invites introspection, encouraging viewers to reflect upon the impermanence of human endeavors and discover the profound beauty that emerges from embracing fleeting moments.
However, as the winds of change swept through the urban landscape, the abandoned supermarket and its ephemeral transformation became a poignant chapter in the city's ever-evolving story. Today, the once-majestic structure has been reclaimed by the inexorable force of progress, and its weathered walls and delicate fabric veils have vanished into the annals of memory. Demolition has left behind a void, an echo of the artistic resonance that once animated this forgotten space. The land now stands bare, silent, and awaiting its fate, marked with a 'for sale' sign that hangs as a melancholic reminder of the transience that envelops our human endeavors.
