Hazem Harb | On his work شاش Gauze
Hazem Harb works with material as a statement-drawing from his homeland’s history of place, craft, and forced displacement.
At the Biennale, his work reimagines a familiar medical fabric as a visual language of care and remembrance-recalling that the word “gauze” itself is widely believed to originate from Gaza.
Layered onto paper that recalls the surface of human skin, the material becomes both protection and witness-holding traces of loss, endurance, and a city’s ongoing search for healing.
Experience Hazem Harb’s work at the Diriyah Contemporary Art Biennale 2026.
