Ramadan in today’s fast-paced world is a paradox—demanding stillness amidst motion, clarity amidst chaos. Walk into a Garden (2025) is not just a painting; it is an experience, a reflection of how Ramadan feels rather than how it looks.
The swirling textures and layered colors mirror the rhythm of our modern lives—constant movement, overlapping emotions, and the tension between the physical and spiritual. The bursts of yellow, deep blues, and earthy tones evoke the contrast between hunger and fulfillment, struggle and serenity, worldly distractions and divine connection.
A garden is a place of renewal, just as Ramadan is for the soul. But this is not a perfectly manicured space—it is wild, textured, and untamed, much like the way we navigate fasting, prayer, and reflection in a world that never slows down.
Each stroke tells a different story, just as Ramadan is experienced uniquely across cultures and personal journeys. Whether in quiet solitude, bustling city streets, or the warmth of community prayers, the essence remains the same—a search for meaning, for peace, for something beyond the material.
How does Walk into a Garden (2025) speak to your Ramadan experience?
