Arabian Delight by Huma Mulji, 2008 mixed media
IMG_2900 Taxidermied camel, Rexine suitcase,metal rods, wood, cotton wool, fabric.
"Pakistani born Huma Mulji's works explore ideas of displacement... "Arabian Delight", a taxidermied camel forced into a battered suitcase, addresses ideas of the relocation of cultures. The rather crazed manner in which the collapsed camel is impossibly forced into this suitcase, legs thrown into disarray, is a humorous comment on the perceived "Arabisation" of Pakistan as another Muslim state."
