Susan Hefuna — Patience is Beautiful
Susan Hefuna

Patience is Beautiful

Hefuna constructs an intricate latticed structure of wood rendered in deep black ink, evoking the traditional Arabic mashrabiya screens found in Islamic architecture. The delicate geometric patterns create a interplay of light and shadow, blurring the boundaries between drawing and sculpture. The work reflects the artist's exploration of cultural identity and the meditative, time-intensive process of creation embedded within its title.
