Terhal

Terhal is a permanent public intervention in a seating area, and the result of an immersion in the unique natural surroundings of Wadi Tayybah in the Emirate of Fujeirah. Abdullah Al Saadi’s travels take him on journeys during which he records his encounters with, and experiences among, natural elements. For Terhal, the artist made map-like paintings from different perspectival orientations on stones from the Wadi Tayybah region. The stones are organised according to his own symbolic code, in an invitation to discover a kind of poetic archaeological language
