From my collection "Sahar" - inspired by Arabic love poetry. The word "Sahar" cannot be directly translated into English, and describes a state sleeplessness spent in longing for one's lover. The word crops up continuously in both classical poetry and modern day music from the region, along with other terms that reference the significance of the night to Arabian culture. The visuals such as the deep reds take cues from classical Japanese artwork, in particular the seals used to sign an artist's work, an inspiration of which was found at the Venice Bienalle in 2017 at the East Asia pavilion. This piece was exhibited at the Norman Rea Gallery exhibition 'Earthly Desires' along with the rest of the Sahar series. The piece was created using ink and water on off-white drawing paper.
