Earth to Earth is an exploration of the inherent and collective memories held in materials: the Earth and the palm tree. It is an invitation to remember our lost connections to the land and to our heritage in the UAE. Mud, made up of both earth and water possesses the broad spectrum of these two elements, creating a duality. The installation consists of two curved walls built in mudbrick creating a semi-enclosed space. The form represents dualities and the relationships of opposites. The enclosed court provides the visitor with an intimate experience of the form whilst hearing recited poetry.
