About the work

A young woman wearing a vivid orange headscarf pauses in a sunlit alleyway, her figure rendered with loose, expressive brushwork against a backdrop of ancient earthen buildings and distant figures. The warm golden tones and soft atmospheric light evoke the quiet bustle of an old Iraqi street.
