October 10, 2026 – ongoing

All the Flowers are For Me (Turquoise) is part of Anila Quayyum Agha’s series of light boxes that draws on influences such as Indo-Islamic designs, South Asian textiles, and minimalist sculpture. The laser-cut steel cube features botanical motifs combined with designs from Islamic architecture and lit by a single lightbulb, transferring the patterns as shadows onto the surrounding walls and visitors.
