AiLis
Rabih Zeidan
AiLis is a rotating stainless steel cylinder which has several arms, each of which has a spinning disc attached to the end of it which, according to the artist, are intended to be interpreted in different ways (a watermill, a wind vane…), depending on their cultural background. AiLis was supposed to be a permanent artwork.
