over the summer, i was approached by the manarat al saadiyat team to participate in their "artists' swings" project where invited artists would design a swing bench that would be installed at their venue. i happily accepted and worked on a swing that i called 'sway'.
'sway' was created using my existing stamps of dancing silhouettes imprinted over bold abstract shapes and colours. the final swing initially had fringe pinned underneath, which fluttered as one would swing back and forth. unfortunately, the fringe pulled off with time *sniff*. but i think the bench itself is still quite successful without it.
if you're in abu dhabi, make sure to pass by manarat al saadiyat to check out the "artists' swings" installation in person, and have a look at all the swings designed by each invited artist. and most importantly, make sure to have a little swing on 'sway'...
