The world knows a small number of Ancient Egyptian objects — a golden mask, a famous bust, a pair of obelisks. Behind these icons, Egypt holds one of the largest and richest collections of ancient material in the world, most of it unseen, understudied, or simply overlooked.

This series turns toward what remains inside the country. Each work investigates an object or image from Egyptian collections — not the famous, but the significant. Not the spectacular, but the precise. The goal is not celebration but attention: looking carefully at what is here, and asking why it has not been looked at before.
