My practice is rooted in painting as a space of becoming where memory, emotion, and lived experience surface through layers of color, texture, and form. I approach the blank surface as an open world, allowing intuition and process to guide the emergence of figures and narratives rather than imposing fixed meanings from the outset. The work unfolds slowly, revealing its own logic through accumulation, erasure, and transformation. Growing up between geographies and cultural contexts, and shaped by my Sudanese identity, my work reflects a continuous negotiation between place and displacement, presence and absence, fragility and resilience. Recent bodies of work are deeply informed by the ongoing war in Sudan and its emotional aftermath grief, rupture, survival, and the quiet persistence of love and humanity in times of collapse. Rather than documenting events directly, I translate their psychological and emotional weight into visual language. I am interested in the intersection between poetry and painting, particularly the influence of Mahmoud Darwish, whose writings inform my understanding of longing, belonging, and collective memory. Through abstraction that leans toward figuration, I construct dream-like spaces where human forms appear suspended carriers of stories, witnesses to loss, and symbols of endurance. My work often centers on the idea of “becoming human again”: a return to empathy, connection, and shared vulnerability. In this sense, painting becomes both a personalrefuge and a political gesture an act of care, remembrance, and resistance against erasure. By working through fluidity and improvisation, I invite viewers into a space that mirrors the complexity of the Global South experience, where identities are layered, histories are unsettled, and beauty persists alongside pain.
