“My work focuses on local material that can be utilized to display a meaningful idea where people can relate to and build stories upon,” reads his website.

In his latest project titled Inimical Nostalgia, Zaid used a sugary material to create a new art piece. The Jordanian architect shaped the blue cotton candy, into “Hellenistic-era sculptures.”

Zaid wanted to convey how our sweet, yet unrealistic view of the past hinders the progress in the present. The cotton candy sculpture features a face that can easily be pulled apart, just like how our admiration for the past is based on a mere notion and can end up becoming a stumbling block to society’s development.

“This work reveals the necessity to have a complex cultural relationship with the past in order to benefit from it in a constructive way.”
