DC-XLIX. borrows the profiles used for extruded gypsum cornices and friezes, morphing them by overlapping the designs with two other locally embellished processes, sand-casting, and foam-cutting. Synthesising local craft and design technology establishes a new Kuwaiti identity that is rooted in its migrant history, yet embraces its contemporary image.

DC-XLIX. is a single edition sculpture, originally short listed for the prestigious RA summer show.
