About the work

A haunting face emerges from a field of vivid red, its watchful eyes peering through layers of stencilled letters and numbers scattered across the canvas. Two handprints — one white, one dark — anchor the lower half of the composition, adding a raw, urgent energy to this densely layered work.

Salim Qasem (Iraq).
