The spaces in between.UNMAPPED
Where are you from?
I never quite know how to answer that. Amman. Palestine. Toronto. Bahrain. New York. Dubai. Each one shaped how I see, how I design, how I paint.
Unmapped is not about one place, but the spaces in between. Memory, movement, and the quiet search for belonging when the map keeps changing. The raw inspiration comes from a mixture of sources including cartography, collaged maps, photographs taken across urban landscapes that move me. Less tied to a specific city. More about what lives between them.
The technique has loosened. Charcoal and pastels over acrylic. New brushes, new edges. An exercise in letting go as much as holding on. I see and dream in shapes, or vignettes.ALABASTER
Alabaster. A bold dance of light and shadow. The sharp contrasts evoke strength and vulnerability, inviting viewers to explore balance and tension. A white form cuts through darkness and takes the centre. There is but a whisper of colour to soften it, only the raw linen where the paint stops. The composition is stripped to mass, edge, and the space between.
CONFLUENCE
Confluence. Two bands of blue sit at the edges of the larger forms, not touching, each pulling the eye toward the other. The linen shows through, unpainted, giving the ground its own weight. Nothing meets here, but everything leads somewhere.
REVERIE
Reverie. A quiet dialogue between form and emptiness. Soft blues and warm neutrals hold the upper field, while a heavy black shape anchors the lower right. Small dark marks drift across the pale ground, maybe birds, or not. Whatever the city was here, it has thinned out into something half remembered.
