TIME

Collection Statement

Time is a phenomenon that presents us with an endless and challenging task of staying alive within the frame of life. It is a deceptive and ongoing struggle with our bodies to cherish the fleeting moments. This collection captures a suspended moment, like an observable thought within limited time constraints, that is both faded and memorable to convey the immediate sense of magnificence that comes with being alive in the present moment.

TIME

زمان

Chronology / Period:2021
Curatorial Statement

A painting series concerned with awareness, vulnerability, stillness, and the way a passing instant remains in memory.

TIME is an inquiry into presence, impermanence, and the suspension of psychological duration. The paintings hold a moment between arrival and disappearance, where perception becomes fragile and intensely present.
