abstract = "Fadi Yazigis exhibition Untitled creatively examines the effects of historical and political instabilities in his homeland over the last decade. Yazigis audience stands in the centre of an array of crafted exhibits that range from medium- to large-size everlasting
bronze sculptures and brittle clay reliefs to figurative paintings decorating the surfaces of friable rice-paper canvas and fragile daily baked bread. The exhibitions title is metaphorical: it embodies the ambiguities, inequalities and uncertainties in the daily lives of ordinary people
in war-struck Syria. The everyday use materiality of Yazigis craft assumes a form that reflects the complexities, contradictions and negotiations in the trope of the everyday in the region and on a global scale. Yazigis work centres on people and human
emotions with a nostalgic feeling towards the beings he meets. Yazigi smears oil, ink and acrylics as he employs techniques of drawing, painting, sculpting and moulding, using earth-sourced materials like paper, bread, soil and metal presenting the lives of ordinary people and their humane
emotions.",
