"Through Buildings" (1 and 2) represent a collaboration between Camp Omi children and Egyptian artist, Rehab El Sadek, a 2019 artist-in-residence. Using layered gauze, ink, gesso, and acrylic medium, campers ages 4-13 scrawled overlapping drawings inspired by the ancient, classical, and imaginary architecture often utilized in El Sadek's personal work. The original wall-sized drawing was "peeled" by the artist from her studio wall, creating rips, tears, and textures that hide and reveal different parts of the drawing. These works are trimmed "core samples" of the original piece.

Rehab El Sadek is a conceptual artist. El Sadek holds a degree in art from the University of Alexandria in Egypt. Meditation on space and immersion into overlooked places inform the artistic inquiries of her practice. Her current work draws inspiration from ancient and classical architecture, modern architectural theory and explores broad themes of immigration, belonging, communication, and language. She has initiated workshops and creative social practice interventions on issues ranging from women's rights to the challenges facing disadvantaged children. El Sadek has participated in numerous group and solo shows throughout the world, and has been the recipient of several awards and residencies.
