About this artwork
Temporary captures the raw struggle of confinement. The figure presses its hands against its head, a padlock dangling before the face like a suspended sentence. The wrench, painted onto the shirt, is both tool and burden, a symbol of repair, resistance, and the heaviness of labor. It is a portrait of tension, caught between breakdown and endurance.
Al Waari suggests that imprisonment, whether psychological, social, or political, is never truly permanent. The padlock may dangle, but it awaits a key. The title insists on the transience of pain, hinting at the possibility of release and repair, even when the present feels unbearable.
Temporary is a testament to resilience under pressure. For collectors, it resonates as both a personal and universal metaphor, a reminder that even the heaviest states of being are not fixed, but waiting to be unlocked.
