Safwan Dahoul's Dream Series Debuts in UAE at Ayyam Gallery
Ayyam Gallery in Dubai is hosting 'The Eye: An Aperture Into the Soul,' a solo exhibition of Safwan Dahoul's latest works. The show extends his long-running Dream series and introduces experimental pieces making their UAE debut after being shown at his first institutional exhibition in China. For three decades, Dahoul has centered his practice on a sparse, monochromatic interior—a silent, anonymous room devoid of narrative detail. Within this space, life's phases and events emerge and dissolve, with the room acting as a quiet axis for cyclical movement. The exhibition runs from March 20 to April 30, 2025.
