"Line Up the Sun" is a text based installation consisting of language and light. Deriving from Almehairi’s prominent use of language in her practice, both formally and visually, she centers the themes of time and self through the nature of light in this work.
Almehairi examines light, particularly its measurable rhythmic elements, using the lens of “the day” to create a connection between the amount of light and the discovery, awareness, and exploration of oneself. How does one align themselves to the sun? In the margins of sunlight, she measures rhythmand finds mindful reflection a meditative practice. Illuminating one's mind and enhancing one's journey of self-exploration, "Line Up the Sun" begins to create a dialogue between shifts, reflection, and realization of the artist’s thoughts—they are to be shared and interpreted familiarly by their multiple meanings.
Line up the sun
Fall under the light
Align yourself in its/your thoughts
