A private water sanctuary.
Cairo · MMXXVI
Plura makes private water.
Not as spectacle, but as quiet. Each vessel is shaped, finished, and tended to the standard of a room one returns to alone, at the hour the day folds inward. There is no audience here. There is the water, the light upon it, and the long evening that follows.
PLURA · CAIRO
Begun in Cairo. Built to stay.
Plura began with a single drawing — a vessel set into a north-facing terrace, level with the floor of the room behind it. The drawing was finished, then drawn again. The first build came two years later. Each one since has begun the same way.
Drawn first. Built second. Tended for years.
Drawn
Each vessel begins on paper. We visit the room, the terrace, the courtyard. The drawing returns and returns until the proportions are right and the rest can begin.
Built
Built in Cairo, with materials chosen for the room they will sit in. Stone, plaster, the right kind of light. The build is slow because the work is slow.
Tended
Set in place by the same hands that built it. Five years of attention follow. A direct line for the second decade.
