About this artwork
Emerging from darkness, the painted face fuses with the body of an oud, its hollow eyes echoing the sound holes of the Arabic lute. Flames of color ripple across its surface, vibrating like music suspended in silence. This is not only a visage, but an instrument where voice and string merge into one haunting resonance.
In Chord, Hanaa Khaled transforms the oud into a metaphor for the human condition. The face and instrument entwine as a single entity, evoking themes of heritage, fragility, and the universal need for expression. The work strikes at the space between sound and silence, beauty and rupture.
Chord invites collectors to own a piece that bridges cultural memory with contemporary expression, a work where music becomes image, and image becomes eternal resonance.
