In her work ‘Qanfager’, one of the many names for papyrus (Al-Qanfajr), Hawsawi uses papyrus to convey the temporality of memory preservation. Created from nature, papyrus has lifecycles entwined with its past as part of a tree to its endless transformation as a vehicle of knowledge. The artist conveys her intellectual and emotional reflections to the works by using coloured inks of varying degrees over the layers of papyrus. Sometimes these colours are striking and vibrant, and sometimes they are hidden by the papyrus itself. The more explicit the use of colour, the closer one is to confronting themselves, to facing reality honestly and openly, and continuing their search for truth.
