“This is Seddak Wasil’s first solo exhibition at Jeddah’s Athr Gallery. Renowned for his
powerful metallic sculptures that depict his philosophy of spiritual freedom, this exhibition
explores the diversity of mankind, which is no more evident than in his hometown of Mecca - a
historic centre of trade and pilgrimage that sees people flock to it from all corners of the globe.
Mecca attracts the good, the bad, and the ugly, all of whom seek God to pray for beauty, health,
wealth and above all, forgiveness. Thus, it provides a playground of human inspiration which
the artist has tapped into in order to create this entirely new body of work.”
