Terrain - 5

2001
Hussain, Kabir
I travelled to England when I was seven. The wonder of flight was made more extraordinary when I glimpsed the middle eastern landscape through the cramped window of the aeroplane. Below was an arid and expansive terrain shot through with seams of silver rivers. Time and the elements defined the 'picture' to be seen. The wind and hot sun had baked and eroded the parched earth remaking and constantly altering the landscape. Terrain – 5 is a continuation of this observation, made portable and too tiny to explore by foot. Kabir Hussain
