From the "Edge of Language" series, which presents a vision of
contemplation between language signifiers and everyday life. Al
Salem offers an insight into the gap of meaning that forms between
the complexities of human experience and its verbal communication



"Being Visible"


captures the word "live" which is often used in media contexts and
as a contemporary social condition, where official media is no longer
the sole representative of societies; every individual has become a
visible window to the world. Through form and materiality, the work
embodies the tension between openness and exhaustion, between
appearance and disappearance. It is a visual meditation that
transforms a concept , from its constant metaphysical state to a
closed iron ring, revealing its constant presence and uninterrupted
existence. live becomes a visible body that cannot escape
observation.


The word, which is supposed to be instantaneous, here transforms
into a permanent entity, raising questions about identity, self-
censorship, and the representation of societies.
