Dust and Glitter is a display of the findings of one year of ongoing research. The artist investigated the concept of the chaos of marginalised things, i.e. dirt and its counterpart of nice things: glitter and their history and origin. In an attempt to study order in chaos in the processes of demolition and reconstruction, and this chaos’ impact on the society’s collective memory, the artist collected samples of dirt different heritage sites in Cairo and Alexandria. She also recorded surrounding sounds for the memory of the place to mix artificial and natural sounds in an attempt to present possibilities for drawing the shape of the site.
