Hassan Sharif believed all materials were inherently political. Responding to the landscape of material culture in the U.A.E., which had undergone rapid social and economic changes since its independence in 1971, Sharif’s sculptures were created from consumer products sourced from local markets and stores. For this piece, Sharif combined wood from trees that grew in the U.A.E. and iron imported to Dubai. While speaking about Iron No. 2 Sharif said, “I like the combination between two contradicting materials which both come from the earth. From iron ore, and from the tree. Each material has some kind of relational or erotic aspect in its combination with another. I think materials carry individual narratives. With some materials you can create a story. The material remains as a wire, it remains as rubber, or cotton ropes, but in the end it is also a vocabulary. It’s like an alphabet. When you mix wood and wire it gives you two alphabets together. It’s not any more wood, neither is it any more wire.”Exhibitions
