The term “symbiotic” here describes several dualities that manifest in the show: that of two brothers, that of the two cultures in their family of origin, and that of life in the UAE, with its attendant tension between tradition and modernity. Through their work, the artists search for balance between their traditional Emirati heritage, often portrayed using imagery of animals from their family farm, and the experience of living in modern Dubai. Each of these artists emulate this experience of dualities by applying ancient motifs from various cultures to a contemporary context.
