Zaki collects witnesses of the present, converting them into found objects of the future. By sculpting objects of the everyday life, he positions the spectator as an archaeologist from the future, looking at remains of the present. Zaki is interested in how we deal with museums and artefacts. How we gaze at a certain object in a museum preserved in a vitrine.
