Description
The “Lawha Lil-Dawha” series represents the artist's latest inspirations from his research into his country's past. Studying his country's modern history closely, the artist landed in the early 1980s, a time that marked a new dawn in his hometown of Doha. The series is named after the poem “Lawha Lil-Dawha” by Qatari poet Marouf Rafiq. Through Rafiq's words, she is drawn to poetry for her latest incarnation in the history of her land and the faces that have occupied that time. This set of works physically represents the words behind this poem, which personifies the growth of his native land with splendor and grace.
Faithful to the artist's practice, she delicately travels in the past and brings back a tale that defines who is her homeland today. The artist's approach to deconstruction and reconstruction shapes the narrative of her work as an archival process of documenting memories and immortalizing them in a time and space capsule.

Presentation
Bouthayna Al Muftah is a Qatari visual artist that received a Bachelor of Arts from Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts Qatar. Upon her graduation, Al Muftah focused her artistic practice in printmaking, typography, documentation and artists' books, which evolved into multiple installations. Her artistic approach draws inspiration from cultural heritage borrowing elements from the people of Qatar's oral history and folklore.
Al Muftah's fascination with her surrounding context has led her to develop strong interest in the life in the old neighborhoods of Qatar and its people. As an approach to reconstruct past experiences into contemporary settings, she often finds characters and stories to transform in her own world. She gradually turned to book binding as a way to express her inspirations and themes in the form of conceptual documentation of the past, whilst simultaneously deconstructing and rediscovering elements in an abstract style.
