Exhibited for first time since their creation, these nine paintings reference the traditional stained glass windows of Sanaa, called qamariya (meaning “moon-like” or “of the moon” in Arabic). These double-sided works are painted onto repurposed stencils that Abad collected from qamariya workshops in Sanaa. Her vibrant brushwork in the negative space complements the stained glass windows the stencils helped produce, creating an extended collaboration between the artist and the craftspeople who shared their materials with her. For Abad, painting the everyday doors and windows of Yemen was a way to show the outside world a vividly colorful perspective of the country’s rich cultural heritage.
