ALI KAAF ON PRESENCE, ABSENCE, AND PROCESS

Selections Magazine, December 18, 2025

In a recent article, Selections Magazine interview Ali Kaaf whose solo exhibition, The Fire’s Edge, is ongoing at Ayyam Gallery. ⁠

The conversation explores Kaaf’s practice through themes of presence and absence, where fire, erasure, and material transformation become central to his process. ⁠

Through burning, cutting, and marking, Kaaf reveals absence as a form of presence, inviting viewers to reflect on memory, fragility, and the quiet power of what remains.⁠
