Mona Hatoum's "Wood and Galvanised Steel" exemplifies her practice of transforming everyday industrial materials into forms that provoke physical and psychological unease. The work combines raw timber with cold metal elements to create a sculptural object that invites tactile engagement while simultaneously suggesting threat or confinement through its austere construction. Hatoum's characteristic exploration of bodily vulnerability and spatial disruption is evident in how the materials' contrasting textures and the work's architectural presence command viewer attention and interaction.
