Bahrain-based artist Sarah Aradi uses visual analogy, metonymy, and conceptual reinterpretation to critique prevailing power dynamics and historical narratives through her work.
By reinterpreting objects, Al Aradi initiates a conversation with history and the past, offering a critical viewpoint (perspective) on established ideas and narratives. Her artistic process involves research and the metaphorical use of materials, employing amplification and magnification to emphasize subtle or otherwise overlooked signals, movements, or details for the audience's examination.
She creates contemporary pieces in various mediums, such as film, text-based works, mixed media, installation, and painting.
