Constructing, deconstructing.” This repetitive and formulaic process is a critique on the emergence and growth of consumer culture, particularly in his native Dubai. Copper is an industrial material imported to Dubai, and through working with it Sharif recognized a palpable import-export relationship. He imported the materials, repurposed them as artwork, and then exported the completed piece. Sharif remarked, “everything is political. A human, any act is political. Whether using wood or [lead], it becomes political. It is economic as well . . . 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.”Provenance
