Installation view, Longing for Touch, Hamazrek Gallery, 2025.

Longing for Touch brings together paintings that approach beauty, desire and the idealized worlds held just beyond reach. Moving between intimate figures and encounters with classical art, the exhibition considers the distance between looking, longing and the possibility of contact.
