The Weight of Tenderness

Samar Hussein Baghdad, Sweden

The Weight of Tenderness captures an intimate moment balanced between affection and restraint. The overlapping lines and transparent geometric forms suggest emotional complexity — connection shaped by memory, vulnerability, and desire. Against the ethereal background of violet, turquoise, and rose, the figures seem to float between embrace and escape.

Through her fluid use of color and line, Samar Hussein translates intimacy into architecture — a visual structure of feeling where love is both fragile and defiant.
