Heba Abed’s installation at the 19th Sharjah Art Festival, 2016.

Heba was interested in the concept of scotomas; Blind spots in the field of vision, and their application in her society. They are evident when considering issues omitted in a satirical style, such as mistranslation of Arabic or the Latinization of Arabic using different symbols for Arabic phonemes that do not exist in English or other European languages.
