SHERIN GUIRGUIS : Kholkhal Aliaa
Kholkhal Aliaa is inspired by a Bedouin anklet given to Sherin Guirguis by her mother. Its specific history is unknown, but the fiction around its journeys from mother to daughter over generations has been a continual source of inspiration to the artist. The striking form of the kholkhal, ornamented with enormous spikes and delicate detailing, conveys power, elegance and female agency.
