This work is one of many studies for the work “Wind Egg Scroll,” which provides the foundations for Ahmed’s “Wind Egg Project,” which has been the subject of exhibitions at M HKA (Museum of Contemporary Art, Antwerp, Belgium), Gothenburg International Biennial of Contemporary Art (GIBCA), Nanyang Technological University and Museum Bärengasse as well as residencies at La Becque Foundation, Schloss Post Web Residency. The scroll presents the Wind Egg project in a form most appropriate to it a scroll which can be read as a singular flow which can be read both backwards and forwards. It demonstrates the intricate interconnection between technology, architectural ornament, ancient thought, and fluid dynamics. Remarkably the project contains no fiction. Using cutting edge wind tunnel technology, the Wind Egg project realizes the ancient Greek, Egyptian, Arabic, and Indian thought that animals and people could be fertilized by the wind just as plants are.
