Artist and architect Ola Hassanain intertwines family history with the materiality and temporality of water and clay. For this manifestation, Hassanain shares her ongoing visual research into the spatial implications of catastrophes. In this provocation the artist zooms in on an intimate ‘site of catastrophe’: her grandmother’s house.
