Professor Doctor Safaa Salam displayed 57 artworks. She used pastel, water colour, acrylic, rapidograph and wood colour and sometimes she mixed all these materials together to create the collage. For mural painting (Mosaics), she used marble together with different materials for mosaics. She cut the marbles into small pieces of different sizes and shapes according to what she was going to use, to be compatible with the idea of the design. The materials which she used are varied: pebbles, flint, glass, copper, stones, shells, etc.
The exhibition closed on 12 March, 2012.
