“I live surrounded by scattered sculptures around me; I live through them, and they live through me.” — Formations

 

This book presents Mona Saudi (1945–2022), one of the rare sculptors of her era, born in Amman, Jordan. Working exclusively in stone, she developed a visual language grounded in elemental forms such as squares, circles, cylinders, and rectangles. Her sculptural compositions return repeatedly to themes of fertility and growth, shaping a practice defined by material presence and organic rhythm.

 

A focused exploration of form, stone, and the enduring relationship between sculpture and life.
