Art Dubai Special Edition 2026: Galleries Section, Booth C16
Current event
Overview
Marking the 20th anniversary of Art Dubai, Iris Projects presents a dual presentation in the Galleries section featuring Safeya Sharif (b. 1999) and Alyazia Al Nahyan (b. 2000).
Bringing together two emerging voices from Dubai, the booth unfolds as a dialogue between material transformation and spatial perception. Sharif’s wall-based sculptures examine architectural memory and perception through forms shaped by shifting topographies of desert landscapes. Al Nahyan’s paintings, created using pigments derived from organic matter, unfold as atmospheric abstractions that reflect cycles of growth, decay, and regeneration.
