Fingerprint
The fingerprint is a universal symbol of identity. The combination of ridges and gaps are unique to every individual. L A N A wanted to examine the deeply personal attributes associated with this form by creating a series of prints that illustrate her interpretation of identity.
Due to the size of the prints, at first glance the form appears to be made of a series of dashes, replicating that of a fingerprint. It is only on closer inspection that one can see that there is more to them than meets the eye. The prints in actual fact comprise a piece of personal text written in Arabic relating to L A N A ' s identity, whose lines take the form of her individual fingerprint.
