About this artwork
Figures collide in a monochrome tempest, their forms emerging and dissolving into waves of black and white. At the center, a spectral void glows, as if holding the silence of absence amidst the clamoring crowd. The work vibrates with both defiance and surrender, a scene suspended between witness and erasure.
Moualla confronts the mechanics of power and collective movement, where the individual is both shielded and consumed. By stripping the palette to its starkest contrast, he compels us to face the raw tension between presence and obliteration.
This canvas carries the density of Moualla’s mature visual language. A commanding piece for collectors seeking to anchor their holdings with a work that embodies his exploration of crowd, resistance, and memory.
