Title A name given to the resource Title not known (Al-Tai 1) Subject The topic of the resource Desert-scape with Barricade Description An account of the resource The swirl of sandy tones with teal blues gives this composition a dramatic dynamism. The view is obstructed, however, by a barricade of jutting beams that stop the viewer from proceeding visually into the space. Tension is created by the contrast in shape and color with the dark beams being rigidly placed against the fluid, neutral background.

Title A name given to the resource Title not known (Al-Tai 2) Subject The topic of the resource Dreamscape with Hazy Figure on Rocky Terrain Description An account of the resource This composition by Al-Tai has a dreamlike quality as the main figure appears in an ambiguous haze. The figure is set against a rocky backdrop climbing over jagged boulders. Just before reaching a solid mountain wall, the figure looks back to an unknown object outside of the picture plane. The color palette of the work adds to it surreal nature as the natural tones of the rocks are bathed in an eerie greenish glow emanating from the background.

Title A name given to the resource Title not known (Al-Tai 3) Subject The topic of the resource Surreal Composition with Stairs, Archways, and Sun Description An account of the resource In this surreal composition, Al-Tai has piled a multitude of archways floating in an undefined space to create an atmosphere of non-reality. The ascending stairways draw the viewer’s eye upwards to a circular object resembling the sun with emanating rays. Again, Al-Tai has combined the earthy tones of tans and blues with a sickly green.

Title A name given to the resource Title not known (Al-Tai 4) Subject The topic of the resource Stylized Composition with Archways and Staircases Description An account of the resource Again Al-Tai has created a surrealistic composition by placing a maze of architectural elements, archways and staircases, within an undefined space. This ambiguity creates a dreamscape in which the viewer, or dreamer, decides where the staircases lead.Each element has been overlapped into the whole through the use of angular lines. The composition is rendered in neutral tones with the blending of color becoming more prominent in the background.
