Modern Arabesque covers Safwan Dahoul’s current solo exhibition, The Eye: An Aperture Into the Soul, presented at Ayyam Gallery, describing it as a deeply introspective continuation of his long-running Dream series.
The exhibition explores themes of confinement, memory, and emotional vulnerability through his signature monochromatic, dreamlike imagery, where solitary figures inhabit enclosed, box-like spaces.
Through this new body of work, Dahoul further develops his visual language around silence and psychological tension, offering a powerful meditation on isolation and the human condition.
