In her work, 'Please Do Not Step II' Hamra Abbas alludes to the meeting of different cultures and religions in our complex, to be "different" in the West, at a time when we are suffering the «talibanisation» of world politics.


In Please do not step 2 (2008) Hamra Abbas uses thin interlacing strips of paper to form the Arabian stalactite work that has been stuck to the floor of the gallery. This dramatic and at the same time delicate and ephemeral work is around 30 meters long and crosses the natural path followed by visitors to the exhibition.
