Here, Ahmed brings together the wind tunnel, and the tower of silence. He creates the wind tunnel as a site of incubation for the near future in our industrially produced reality. Whereas, a tower of silence is a funerary structure dating to the 9th century C.E. made to preserve the purity of the sacred elements of fire and earth from tainted human flesh. At the center, we see a floor piece with a whirling pool of water, evoking the primordial void from Genesis. This whirlpool is situated in the drainage pit of the tower of silence which surrounds it. A channel from each rectangular emplacement for bodies leads to this drain. The first of the three rows from center is for children, followed by another for women, and finally men. Using 3D modeling software and 3D printers, Ahmed reconstructed Mumbai’s Parsi Tower of Silence or Dakhma from colonial era drawings. This was facilitated by the dominance of Cartesian geometry in both the drawings and the software/printers created 200 years later. The tower is also cast of pigmented polymer containing aluminum. Hovering just above the black whirlpool is a faceted red ball. Its shape is that of helium ignition in its first milliseconds. The contributing scientist, Dr. Frouzakis Christos Emmanouil, could not analyze the data to derive its topology using algorithms available to him in the study of combustion and instead turned to molecular biology. Algorithms used to predict cell division in embryos were able to give form to the first instances of an explosion. Ahmed further processed this information to be able to materialize it in a resin print. The same Cartesian operation is used to split a cylinder into four and spread them equidistant apart. The fiberglass walls that enclose the space originate from the Wind Egg Incubation Wind Tunnel, previously appearing in The Wind Egg exhibition at MHKA in late 2018, and based off of the wind egg incubation chamber at VKI, used in 2016. The mantra-like, meditative reverberation of RUACH NOT RAUCH is inscribed along the edges of the fiberglass walls, ushering a sense that world-creation has been paused, in-process
