Taking the Toyota Hilux—a ubiquitous civilian vehicle turned emblem of resistance—as both subject and structure, Al-Maria traces symbolic timelines that fold and bend across centuries of human movement, extraction, and resistance. At the center of these works are goats and sheep: the first domesticated animals, whose entanglement with human survival and symbolism marks the beginning of civilization itself.

Through spiraling compositions, swirling timelines, and fragmented manga motifs, HILUX charts the entropic cycles of empire, acceleration, and collapse. Simultaneously elegiac and insurgent, the works ask what it means to return to land, to language, to form, and how history can be read in the lines of a speeding truck or a goat.
