Unveiled at Art Dubai 2019 on Wednesday is the work of London-based Saudi Arabian artist
Daniah al-Saleh, the winner of the second edition of the prestigious
Ithra Art Prize. Her winning commission titled Sawtam (the Arabic translation of phoneme) is a large-scale multimedia artwork that explores the structure and complexities of language, deconstructing it to its smaller unit of sound, the phoneme. The Ithra Art Prize worth $100,000 is a collaboration between the King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture (Ithra) and Art Dubai. It was launched in 2017 and is awarded to emerging Saudi and Saudi-based talent in contemporary art. Al Arabiya English caught up with Daniah al-Saleh on the eve of the opening of Art Dubai. [
