About the Artwork

Pop art, but make it cultural.

Mlukhiya Soup is a playful nod to Andy Warhol’s iconic soup can works, reinterpreted through a Middle Eastern lens. Instead of a commercial American brand, the piece highlights molokhia — a widely loved Arabic dish that carries deep connections to family kitchens, tradition, and everyday life.

Built from a recycled glass jar and transformed with bold color, metallic accents, and packaging-inspired typography, the work turns a familiar food reference into a sculptural statement. It blurs the line between consumer packaging, pop art, and cultural storytelling.

What Warhol did for mass-produced American soup, this piece does for a dish deeply rooted in Arab culture — elevating the ordinary into something iconic.
