Echoes of Forgotten Figures unfolds as a fragmented memory, a gathering of silhouettes caught between visibility and erasure. Painted in layered tones of black, white, and grey, the composition suggests an ancestral fresco where bodies, spirits, and objects coexist in rhythmic disarray. Through repetition and contrast, Hamed Ouattara evokes the fading presence of cultural memory the persistence of form within time’s erosion. His collage and folding technique transform the surface into a living archive, where each gesture preserves the pulse of those who once stood unseen.
