About this artwork

A body collapses into the emptiness of a plate, while spectral figures loom above, dangling a spoon like a cruel echo of sustenance withheld. The scene vibrates with hunger, despair, and the weight of absence, where even the wine glass and salt shakers become silent witnesses to exhaustion.

Jonas Al Sayed confronts the void left by deprivation, portraying the struggle between physical hunger and spiritual suffocation. The figures hovering in the background embody unseen forces, the shadows of scarcity and loss, pressing down on the solitary diner.

Acquiring Vacuum is to hold a striking testament to human fragility and resilience, a work that forces contemplation on absence as powerfully as presence.
