Crossing Shadows Painting

A painting by :

Obada Gabir -

In "Crossing Shadows," Gabir captures ethereal figures in motion, their ghost-like forms dissolving into the stark contrasts of black ink on white paper. Against a backdrop of looming trucks and buses, these spectral silhouettes seem caught between worlds—neither fully present nor completely absent. The vehicles suggest journey and displacement, while the phantom-like figures evoke memory, loss, and transition. Gabir's masterful linework transforms a simple crossing into a haunting meditation on existence and movement.
