Ana. 2007

Hefuna's works were inspired by the mashrabiyyahs of Cairo, where these latticed woodwork screens cover windows and balconies in traditional houses. The mashrabiyyah screens often incorporate short religious texts in Arabic or Coptic, and the artist has responded by using modern inscriptions in her work.
