Diana Al-Hadid — Mob Mentality
Diana Al-Hadid

Mob Mentality

2014

Mob Mentality is a large-scale sculptural work by Syrian-American artist Diana Al-Hadid that melds architectural and figurative elements into a cascading, seemingly unstable form. Created in 2014, the piece employs a rich combination of polymer gypsum, fiberglass, steel, plaster, gold leaf, and pigment to achieve its characteristically layered and dripping aesthetic. Al-Hadid's work evokes a sense of collapse and transformation, drawing on art historical references while exploring themes of collective behavior and the erosion of structure.
