Hana El-Sagini Makes Bronze Vulnerable at Her Art Basel Solo Booth

Egyptian artist Hana El-Sagini will present a solo booth at Art Basel 2026 in the fair's 'Statements' section, powered by Cairo-based Gypsum Gallery. Her sculptural work 'Plot Twist', made from clay and bronze, features winding braids resembling hair, nerves, muscle fibers, and roots, reflecting her experience as a breast cancer survivor. El-Sagini, a fourth-generation artist and economics graduate who began her art career at age 35, explores resilience, vulnerability, and community through this anti-monumental piece.
