Sharjah Art Foundation has opened a new exhibition. Body Quotidian is now on view at Gallery 6 in Al Mureijah Square.
The display brings together works by UAE-based artists Laila Majid and Inaam Zafar. It is free to visit and runs until September 20.
Reimagining the Everyday
The exhibition transforms everyday objects into something unexpectedly strange. A fogged-up bathroom mirror becomes an immersive artwork, while a street lamp turns into a glowing moon. Hidden faces emerge from ordinary scenes.
Body Quotidian features recent sculptures, photographs, and paintings. The works explore how the human body shapes perception, memory, and everyday experience. Both artists use metaphor to reflect on physical presence in a world shaped by technology and digital imagery.
