Silent Passage embodies a journey inward — a movement through layers of matter, memory, and time. Vertical lines carve a path across a field of muted greys and ochres, while symbolic marks emerge like whispers of forgotten languages. The narrow column at the center becomes both a threshold and a spine, suggesting resilience and transformation. Through his tactile layering of acrylic and folded canvas, Hamed Ouattara transforms abstraction into a sacred architecture — a visual meditation on endurance, silence, and the slow unveiling of truth.
