About the work

Three horizontal bands of etched figures repeat the same trio of subjects — a seated child, a crouching figure, and a reclining head — each rendered in a different ink: black, warm red-brown, and deep blue, giving the work a meditative, sequential quality.

Duraid Sabbah

Iraq

Duraid Fadhil, born in 1974 in Baghdad, Iraq, is a distinguished composer and oud player. He earned his bachelor's degree in musical arts from the College of Fine Arts at the University of Baghdad in 1997, followed by a master's degree in musical sciences in 2000, focusing on the style of Sharif Muhyi al-Din Haydar and its influence on Iraqi oud players. In 2015, he completed his Ph.D. in musical arts, with a dissertation on the characteristics of film scores in Iraqi cinema.

Throughout his career, Fadhil has been an active member of several musical ensembles, including the Alf Layla Orchestra under the direction of composer Salem Hussein in 1999, and the Babel Heritage Musical Ensemble from 2001 to 2003. He also led the Eastern Orchestra at the Institute of Musical Studies between 2001 and 2003 and conducted the Dijla Ensemble for Classical Arabic Music from 2008 to 2012. His academic contributions include teaching oud performance at various institutions such as the Dar Al-Salam Center for Musical Education, the Iraqi Maqam House, the School of Music and Ballet, and the Institute of Fine Arts in Erbil. Additionally, he taught solfège and ear training at the Institute of Musical Studies from 1997 to 2016.

Fadhil has composed scores for numerous films and television programs, including the feature film "Quarantine" (2009) directed by Oday Rasheed, and the documentary "What Was Promised" (2008) by American director Rosheen Thanikachalam. His work has been featured in various cultural events, such as the Babylon International Festival (1995–2002), the Arab Music Conference in Cairo (2002, 2010, 2012), and the Venice Biennale's Iraqi Pavilion in 2013. His contributions have significantly enriched the Iraqi and Arab musical landscape.

Printmaking

Images made by transferring ink from a prepared surface — etching, lithography, screenprint, woodcut — usually in limited editions. Iraqi artists such as Rafa Nasiri helped make printmaking a serious modern art form across the Arab world.

Expressionism

Art that prioritizes emotion and inner experience over realistic depiction, using distortion, bold color, and energetic mark-making. In the region it gave modern artists a language for memory, displacement, and identity.
