The minimalist, clean lines of A white ascent| صعودا أبيضا evoke the historic neighborhood of Diriyah in Riyadh’s old town. This sculptural work brings to mind Rem Koolhaas’s famous quote, “Architecture is not about form and function, it’s about the space in between.” Al Othman brilliantly captures that precious "in-between moment," celebrating the simplicity and functionality of Najdi architecture. The piece encourages reflection on how spaces and architectural language evolve, highlighting how elements that may seem mundane at first glance are imbued with deeper meaning when considered through the lens of culture and history.
