Jalal Luqman: What the Fire Left Behind
About
Fire consumed his artworks, but not his legacy. Emirati mixed-media artist Jalal Luqman salvaged the wreckage, forging melted metal into something new. He resurrected the pieces lost to the flames through AI, writing prompts from memory—recalling not just how the artworks looked, but how he felt when he first created them. Part Phoenix, part Iron Man, Luqman bends destruction into transformation, merging raw material with machine logic. What the Fire Left Behind is more than an exhibition—it’s a manifesto on resilience, reinvention, and the art of starting over. Follow CIFRA into Jalal Luqman’s Dubai studio and his latest exhibition to see art transform loss into renewal.
