Nile Gauge, 2025

Nile Gauge (2025) embodies a contemporary vision of spatial memory, where history meets imagination in a visual formulation based on textural contrast and spatial depth. By integrating shaped wood in relief on the canvas, the artist creates a dialogue between the solidity of monumental architecture and the fluidity of the surrounding Nile, reinforcing the concept of "measurement" not just as a tool for water, but as a standard for time and civilization. Dominant sky-blue and earthy tones reflect a state of explicit tranquillity shrouded in mystery, as the architectural mass appears to float above a surface of reflections. This invites the viewer to contemplate the eternal relationship between humanity, the river, and structure. The work moves away from pure realism, venturing into realms of symbolism and artistic ambiguity that characterize the artist's unique practice.
