In The Edifice of Sba, Asma Belhamar questions the visual analogy between the transfiguration of space and the optical notion of the after-image by examining what lingers from her personal memories and how ephemeral the human experience is. The installation juxtaposes compressed time and lingering visual memory from the perspective of a car in motion. This vision of time and memory is shared by both locals and residents who have witnessed profound changes in the UAE over the last fifty years.
