In the Middle of the Earth, Under the auspices of the fine arts sector and ministry of culture, opens the night of Friday the 4th of June, the second sea symposium organized by Cairo-based artist Haytham Nawar at the Qaytbey Citadel in Alexandria.
In this project i wanted to interpret the word"In the Middle of the Earth" to the closest meaning to a person and his own world. the "self" as his own believe about the world.
what first comes to mind when mentioning the sea are: the horizon, depth, secrets and reflections. the last mentioned is what i wanted to assemble with the choice of the mirror as a clear reflecting surface as well as the water -sea- surface. and the transparent plastic is expressing the view from below the surface.
