Cairo - Egypt

rtTalks Egypt is pleased to present the !rst solo exhibition of Alexandria-based artist Hady Boraey, as part of our mission to showcase Egypt�s most talented emerging artists. In “Beyond

Borders”, Hady Boraey takes us on an imaginary journey of what could lie beyond the borders of the earth and the borders of one�s own land.

Does the universe have a border? And if it does, what does this line sep-arate us from? What exactly are we missing and what lies beyond the edge of our earth? Webster dictionary de!nes the word border as a line separating one country from another or as a boundary between places, implying knowledge of what lies beyond. Yet so much is still unknown – fascinating and frightening at the same time.

With a distinctive painting technique and a thrilling imagination, Boraey has created a poetic and dramatic world of fantasy of what could lie beyond all sorts of borders – of the earth, of one�s country or one�s imagination. And while the mystery of what lies beyond the borders of the universe is grand and captivating, Boraey uses the unknown as a metaphor to highlight the fascina-tion and hope of many young Egyptians to cross the borders of their own country to go settle somewhere �where the grass looks greener. For Boraey, the unknown doesn't necessarily mean more planets and stars and other forms of material, but more impor-tantly, it symbolizes the relentless pursuit of happiness and the persistence of our youth to dream of a better life.

In a world with rising violence, racism and wars, Hady Boraey o"ers a wake up a call that what is beyond your comfort zone and your border – be it your country, your city, your neighborhood, your house, your door, is similar to what lies inside your border – that we are one and the same, that here and there, we go for the same dream to go beyond our borders.
