Abu Dhabi — Mixed Media Collage on Canvas (Unframed)

Every fragment in Abu Dhabi carries a hidden story. Created from salvaged papers gathered in markets and quiet side streets across the Middle East and Europe, this collage is a meditation on time, place, and belonging.

Inspired by the city’s striking duality — glass towers reflecting the Gulf and desert winds whispering through coral stone — this piece captures the tension between permanence and ephemerality. Earthy tones of sand and clay mingle with flashes of turquoise, saffron, and rose, echoing the architecture, textiles, and spice-laden souks of the Emirates.

Each mark, scrap, and layer becomes a verse in a visual language that bridges continents. Abu Dhabi is not a map but a memory — a dialogue between East and West, between what is seen and what endures.
