Spectrum I is a continuation of the artist’s exploration into the material and cultural legacy of oil extraction in the Arabian Gulf. In researching the long cultural and economic history of Pearl diving and the pearl trade, once the main economic driver of much of this region before the discovery of oil, the artist discovered a formal relationship between pearls and oil; they share the same color. The colors are on opposite ends of the dichroic color spectrum
