Hayy Jameel, Saudi Arabia’s dedicated home for arts, is currently hosting Saudi artist Ahaad Alamoudi’s first solo exhibition, Arab News reported.
Titled “Moving Mountains,” the exhibition has captured the attention of several artists and art lovers.
It is based on an impressive short movie that deeply explores Alamoudi’s examination of fast-evolving social and cultural environments. Thus, the exhibition portrays a stunning image about the Kingdom’s natural and urban landscapes.

“I Was Told Ice Wouldn’t Melt In Heat,” represents one of the most prominent artworks in the event. It depicts a man in a white thobe who circles a large ice block in the desert for four hours, trying different methods to stop it from melting amid high temperature.
“(The exhibition) looks at change from different perspectives. The main work is called ‘Moving Mountains,’ which is a piece commissioned by Hayy Jameel. It looks at collective power and the individual power to bring about change, whether building something or forgetting something,” Alamoudi said.

Alamoudi has tackled several topics such as documentation and approaches in understanding the role of the present within an evolving future. She also discussed notions of past and present and navigating landscapes in flux.
