Venue: Gallery 1 rooftop, Art Spaces at Al Mureijah Square
Only legible to passing airplanes, helicopters and drones, the work was originally informed by messaging used by Hurricane Katrina survivors to attract the attention of overhead rescue units. Critical of unsustainable rates of expansion and consumption in many parts of the world today, the work calls attention to the Earth through its aerial vantage point and emphasises the destructive conceptions of development that currently threaten our habitation of the planet as well as our ability to travel within and beyond it.
