Artwork Title: Echoes of Time and Space
Description:
We create our own realms, unique spaces where we rediscover who we are. In them, we attempt to give voice to emotions rooted deep within us. Emotions that are intertwined with truthful vivid shades shaped by our experiences, and sharpened by our awareness of ever-shifting time and space.

Artwork Title: Grandmother’s Eternal Heritage
By Nuha Awni Bader AbuYousef
Artwork Title: Family
Description:
An artwork that conveys meaning beyond visual expression alone. In all space and time, the most precious thing one can carry with them is family. This work embodies that in every detail and line,using an aged golden tone to symbolize heritage and to show that family is humanity’s most valuable treasure.
Behind the father figure is a mirror, as he is the reflection of his family. He tilts his head gently towards the mother, to signify his support without diminishing her independence or ambition. His outer shoulder is raised to the outside world, symbolizing strength, while his inner shoulder is leaning gently towards the family.
Behind the mother figure is aged gray wood touched up with gold, symbolizing her endurance and balance through difficulty. The eldest child stands beside the father figure, symbolizing his father’s resilience and his mother’s compassion. The youngest child is placed at the center as they are the heart of the family. They are all placed close together, symbolizing stability and unity.
Each family member carries an inscription of a deeper meaning: Father: Anchor, pride, pillar, safety and security.
Mother: Mother, beloved, homeland, the way, refuge, road to paradise.
Older sibling: Kind heart, embrace, pillar.
Youngest sibling: Soul’s comfort, blessing.
Family, by Dalia Badran.
Artwork Title: A Gift to the Past
Description:
People get obsessed about what they can gain from the past or the future. This child traveler, however, does not bring gold or technology. They bring a balloon with no material value but infinite warmth.
The child represents our innocence, free from greed, ego or logic. The balloon is a symbol of connection; whether we go to the past or future, we want to connect to others.
A Gift to the Past, by Ali Abbas Ali Khalifa

Artwork Title: Was Here, Still Here
Description:
We have not lived history physically, but through echoes in books and in stories that are passed through generations. Varying in detail and truth, but leaving a mark in our hearts.
Stories and events intertwine like an unending string made of time, where imagination weaves through and blends truth and myth. The past becomes a journey between dream and memory, between what was and what could have been.
We travel through time with this painting, with a brush that sees history dwelling in the soul, taking shape in the imagination.
Was Here, Still Here, by Laila Mohsen Hassan

Cat Car, by Mohamad Mahan
