Untitled (embrace)
Inspired from her ancestral roots in Southern Lebanon, the Arab revolutions and women rights, Soha Sabbagh feels that her work both reflects a part of broader society while expressing her own emotions. In this intimate painting, a woman embraces the outline of a man that is abstracted with broad strokes. The viewer focuses on her face in the center of the canvas. Her eyes are closed, seemingly with contentment.
