The artwork, titled “Untitled (Wheelchair II),” was created by the artist Mona Hatoum in 1999. This piece is associated with the Conceptual Art movement and falls under the installation genre.
The artwork features a unique reimagining of a wheelchair. It is constructed from metal, exhibiting a cold, industrial aesthetic. The wheelchair departs from traditional designs with its rigid, uninviting structure and jagged hand grips, merging elements of functionality and discomfort. This stark and thought-provoking piece challenges viewers to contemplate issues of mobility, vulnerability, and the human body.
