Abdus Salaam

During his residency, Abdus Salaam has been working across sculpture, sound, and painting, to produce a new body of work for exhibition at NIROX. Made over the course of six weeks, during the month-long fast of Ramadan, this body of work ‘ties this land and its hominid remains, this river and its polluted state, notions of our global environmental shortcomings alongside intimate and personal moments. It asks if perhaps love — or the reminder of it, being the essence of our being and therefore our sanctuary across multiple planes — might ease the anxieties, tensions, and personal fears that we project outwardly into the echo chamber of forgetfulness.’
