Khaled Zaki’s installation, The Race, presented at Art d’Egypt against a backdrop of the pyramids exists at the axis of multiple spaces, it is a convergence of art and design, blending historical references with contemporary innovation. His work evokes the chariots of ancient Egypt, symbolising grace, power, and movement. The galloping horses, imagined in stainless steel, reflect a tension between movement and stasis, exploring the constant flux between past and present.Through this work, Zaki addresses the tension between human advancement and the desire to break free from societal and technological limitations.
