In this one channel video Alshaibi presents the Madonna and child in 99 meditative images rocking a lullaby. A descendent bearer to the family name and heir to the throne, the son is the gift of life and merit to the man and yet occupies the labor of his mother and the importance of her attention with his crucial presence. The video screen is embedded in a framed black box.
