The physicality left no space to reflect. It was an urgent gestural act carried through to the point of exhaustion, where all that remained was light. Circling. Physically releasing.\u003cbr\u003ePainted on primed canvas with oil and oil stick, the surface holds that intensity. Relief comes through the act of giving, redeeming oneself through gesture. There is a tension between what is held and released, gathering and dissolving until the surface softens and light comes in.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shooq AlShawi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57322827514238,"sku":"HC1347","price":10000.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0911\/6545\/8814\/files\/Screenshot2026-04-27at13.01.04.png?v=1777291272"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0911\/6545\/8814\/collections\/Screenshot_2026-04-14_at_13.13.40_34b312e6-42a6-4b7e-ba6e-aaf6889e2508.png?v=1776875384","url":"https:\/\/hyphacurates.com\/collections\/shooq-alshawi.oembed","provider":"Hypha Curates","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
