Mona Hatoum Found (wire drawings)

Mona Hatoum was born into a Palestinian family in Beirut, Lebanon. As an artist, she incorporates her life experiences into different art forms such as installations and sculptures.

This artwork came about incidentally as a result of her stay in Beirut by her ailing mother in 1997.

Hatoum collected bent pieces of discarded wire to create unusual, abstract shapes that resemble an alphabet poetically expressing undefined emotions.
