As an artist who has lived all over the world and now resides in America, Zarina Hashmi often grapples with ideas of home, notions of memory, and the impermanence of both. In Crawling House, she reimagined home by reconstructing it into easily movable parts that can be reconfigured at will. The “house” is equipped with wheels and thus is adapted for flexibility and freedom rather than permanence and a fixed location. |
