Drawn by the peculiar rock formations found in Al-Ais, Moath AlOfi embarked on a 250-kilometer journey from Madinah to encounter what he interpreted as faces and features emerging from the granite mountains that were once shrouded in volcanic lava, speaking to him to express an intention to reclaim an environment humans believed was solely theirs.
In Lunayyir, AlOfi draws a connection between these formations and the concept of entropy, exploring how nature regenerates and reforms itself amidst the continuous cycle of creation, destruction and renewal.
Challenging our preconceived notions of order, familiarity and stability, the rocks become symbols of rejuvenating-oriented transformation and the earthly complex system seeking equilibrium.
