Khorfakkan is the culmination of a year of work for the artist. The sculpture looks like a three dimensional representation of the artist’s works on paper - repeating some of the patterns, forms and colours. Khorfakkan is made out of papier-mâché, the color is from the natural pigment of the paper itself. The forms look like bones or tools that early cavemen may have used. The question Ibrahim poses to us is, "Are these forms familiar because we have seen them before or because they have always existed?"
