WHAT: A MOMENT TO CONSIDER. “The show’s centerpiece is an immersive large-scale light installation commissioned by the Amon Carter Museum of American Art in Texas in 2021. A Beautiful Despair is part of Agha’s award-winning cube series, which has garnered critical recognition and drawn crowds in museums and public spaces around the world since 2014.
The laser-cut patterns that embellish the lacquered-steel sculpture are the artist’s reinterpretation of floral and geometric motifs found in Islamic art and architecture in Asia and Africa. When lit from within, the cobalt-blue cube casts luminous floor-to-ceiling shadows that transform the gallery environment, creating an inclusive space for a shared experience, in contrast to the similarly ornamented public spaces Agha was excluded from as a female growing up in Lahore.”
