LOL

Alia Farid (b. 1985, Kuwait, Kuwait) lives and works in Kuwait, Kuwait and San Juan, Puerto Rico, United States. LOL writes the three-letter abbreviation in Corten steel. The simplicity of the work invites a meditation on the flattening of language through texting, Twitter, and short form communication media.
