In this artwork, Suad Al-Attar transitions from the figurative style of the 1970s. Instead, she creates a more abstract and poetic composition, keeping her colours familiar such as sienna and Indian yellow. These shades form a dreamscape filled with earthy tones and calligraphic forms. The work reflects her interests in symbolism and literature, with a choice of colour that creates a sense of depth and an inner light. Curved lines inspired by Arabic script and nature contribute a sense of mystery and movement to the scene.

Through this abstract composition, al-Attar expresses a deep personal link to Iraq’s mystical heritage, revealing hidden and unseen realms of her imagination.
