Obada Gabir -

Obada Gabir's ink on paper work "Shadow of Time" presents a Sudanese laborer seated amidst an intricate architectural landscape. The detailed pen work reveals stone structures, arched doorways, and weathered buildings that speak to centuries of history. Cats move through the scene, adding life to the ancient setting. The composition masterfully contrasts human presence with enduring monuments, capturing the relationship between individual lives and the persistent march of time through detailed crosshatching and bold linework.
