On a path lined with rose bushes, an Omani woman walks carrying her harvest, as though leading a procession that needs no music; colour is its rhythm, the roses are its guests, and the village is its witness.
Daoud Al Shibli turns this everyday scene into a celebration of the land, its people and Omani memory. The woman moves towards the viewer while her features fall away, so that she stands for every woman who carried the yield of her land and kept its traditions.
The work was made from a photograph by the photographer Ahmed Al Housni, with his permission, preserving his right as the holder of the visual reference.
The original was acquired by the Office of the Governor of Al Dakhiliyah. Art Space offers two formats: an A3 fine-art print and an A4 fine-art print.
