As a continuation of her ‘Hollow Forms’ project, Palestinian architect Dima Srouji presents a new collection of almost invisible vessels. This collection echoes and replicates the forms of actual vessels from the Levant, and takes their stories further by allowing the objects to “speak”.
The project sheds light on archaeological glass artifacts from the Levant that have been displaced and are currently displayed behind glass vitrines and storage boxes, currently held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The display renders the vessels invisible, as they are in their current state, yet plays with their shadows to assert the mark they make on the ground.
