2021 – SOLO EXHIBITION – A Shell of Death

Maison Baisieux Gallery, Paris, France

In this endless catalog of voids
In this confidence engulfed in doubts
Surrounded by meaningless classifications or inspiring human achievements
In the pursuit of the destruction of the meaning of the human species

Sometimes you can only be silent
Sometimes you have to stay silent
Sometimes you have to make a shell out of death for silence.

-Ali Esmaeil lou
