In her series “Meaningful in its Meaninglessness,” Sulafa created a process that introduces numbers from her surroundings to add parameters as she is crocheting intuitively. Here, for example, from the window of her studio, Sulafa had a bird’s eye view of a compound of 48 connected villas. She could see their architecture and the mechanical ductwork on their rooftops.

She took a photo and then decided to count the shapes she saw in the layout. This set of numbers was then used to crochet intuitively without having an outcome of shape or form in mind.

In this way, this crochet project becomes an archive of her surroundings, a playful way to reinterpret the traditionally preset dynamic of crochet, This kind of project is an opportunity to journal – to make whatever she encounters part of her process.
