Jordanian artists Bassam Al Selawi and Maysoon Masalha will be showing a new collection of their shadow sculptures in ceramic and resin for a new Ramadan themed exhibition. The shadow sculptures combine modern techniques with Arabic calligraphy and when a light is angled upon them, the shadows come to life. Shadows of Ramadan will be at Sofitel Dubai on Jumeirah Beach all summer. “We encourage everyone to come down to see our new pieces.” said Maysoon Masalha.
