Lost Between Shores – Syrian Calligraphy Art Print
2022
September 2022
United Arab Emirates
Dubai
Concept
This piece explores the emotional and physical journey of Syrian refugees crossing the sea in search of safety during the uprising that began in 2011.
The sea becomes both a path and a barrier — a space suspended between hope and loss, where time slows and identity dissolves into uncertainty.
Visual Narrative
Through surreal composition and symbolic elements, the work captures the tension between movement and stillness.
Figures are often fragmented, fading, or partially submerged, reflecting the instability of the journey and the fragility of those who endure it. The vastness of the sea contrasts with the intimacy of human emotion, creating a sense of isolation and vulnerability.
Theme
The work addresses themes of displacement, survival, and memory, questioning what it means to leave, to carry, and to arrive.
It reflects on the invisible weight carried by those forced to abandon their homes, and the emotional distance that remains even after reaching safety.
A visual reflection on displacement, memory, and the uncertain journey across the sea.
