Through this marble sculpture of tikkay, traditional Emirati floor pillows, Al Dhaheri revisits moments of impromptu play. The scale materialises the comparison in size felt by a child when building a pillow tower or fort. These childhood forts existed within our homes and our rooms, as a space within a space within a space. The weight of the marble monumentalises the experience, allowing the delicate architecture of the tikkay to prompt questions of reinvention, play and creativity. The viewer’s presence and interaction are essential in activating this work, which becomes a tool that connects society in a mass recollection of memory.
