Family Resemblance enlarges the vessels of coffee hospitality into a gathering of five reflective forms. Conceived for SIKKA in Al Fahidi, Dubai, the proposal brings a familiar domestic ritual into the courtyard. Different heights and proportions give the objects the presence of a family, connected by resemblance without assigning fixed roles.

The installation draws on the culture of welcoming, serving and gathering around coffee. Its reference is an everyday object passed through homes and generations. Enlarged to a public scale, the coffee vessel becomes a place to meet and a way to recognise shared roots.

Polished golden surfaces draw visitors and the surrounding heritage buildings into one image. As people move, reflections stretch, overlap and separate. The group changes with those around it, making the visitor part of the portrait.

By day, plaster walls and sky animate the metal. At night, restrained light traces the curves and keeps the courtyard legible. The proposal envisages refining the vessel references with local contributors, placing contemporary forms in an ongoing conversation with the neighbourhood.
