In Behind the Stripes, Samar Hussein explores the boundaries between concealment and revelation. The figure, partially obscured by folds of patterned fabric, becomes a metaphor for the tension between inner life and outward appearance. The interplay of geometry, texture, and color creates a layered narrative — a space where emotion hides behind structure.
Through her composition, Hussein transforms domestic motifs into psychological landscapes, suggesting that even the most familiar surroundings can become veils between the self and the world.
