Ghalia AbdulJawad

These smaller, more intimate works return to the oval as a recurring form, here suggesting a larger face or presence. Radiating lines and concentric circles extend outward from the central shape, evoking ideas of aura, energy and the invisible ways in which individuals affect and are affected by their surroundings. The works consider presence not as something fixed, but as something that expands, shifts and responds to the space around it.
