collection of Victoria and Albert Museum, British Museum. LACMA There has been considerable press about this work and the artist including Financial Times and WSJ and NY Times. // The Path by Abdulnasser Gharem is a powerful 2012 silkscreen print that captures a poignant moment from a bridge in southern Saudi Arabia, layered with symbolic meaning. The image documents the bridge where, in the early 1980s, villagers tragically lost their lives when the structure collapsed as they sought refuge during a flash flood. Gharem, in his work, spray-painted the word siraat across the bridge—a term meaning path, which in Islamic texts signifies the righteous path toward God. The repeated script on the weathered road emphasizes themes of destiny, faith, and the vulnerability of human constructions against nature’s force. This work, which appears in renowned collections including the Victoria and Albert Museum and the British Museum, speaks to collective memory, loss, and resilience.

What is Environmental Art?
Environmental art is a collective term that refers to a wide range of artistic practices and works that engage with historical and ecological themes. The term often encompasses ecological concerns, although it is not exclusively defined by them. Environmental art acknowledges and appreciates the early history of the environmental art movement, including works with activist themes and those celebrating the connection between nature and the artist through the use of natural materials.
