Opening this weekend, Body Quotidian brings together recent works by artists Laila Majid and Inaam Zafar at Gallery 6, Al Mureijah Square, Sharjah. Presented by Sharjah Art Foundation.

The opening will include a reception, an in-conversation with the artists moderated by Raja’a Khalid, Assistant Curator at Sharjah Art Foundation, and an artist-led tour.

Body Quotidian explores the human body and its presence in contemporary life through metaphor and symbolism. Bringing together sculpture, photography and painting, the exhibition explores how the body shapes perception, memory and everyday experience.

In Majid’s practice, sculptural and photographic works emerge through processes of slow revelation. Works such as Steam 07 (2026) transform fleeting domestic moments into layered reflections on perception and memory, while her sculptural series Blinds (2026) and Chaser (2025–ongoing) draw on familiar interiors, play and desire to explore the body’s relationship to space and attention.

Zafar’s works examine mortality, decay and the body as a perishable entity. Moving between figuration and abstraction, paintings including Mourners (2026), Bent moon (2025) and To see and not see (2025) transform ordinary objects and gestures into dream-like images that invite multiple interpretations, reflecting on grief, presence and collective experience.

By bringing together these works by Majid and Zafar, the works in Body Quotidian consider how light, material, gesture and atmosphere filters bodily experience, creating a dialogue between domestic scenes, abstraction and the rhythms of everyday life.
