About this artwork
A storm of bodies surges across the canvas, limbs entangled in movement that is both dance and struggle. The monochrome palette intensifies the urgency, white strokes tearing through shadow, black forms pressing against the tide. It is a scene where chaos and choreography blur into one relentless rhythm.
Moualla captures the visceral pulse of collective motion, where individuality dissolves into the mass. This work confronts the viewer with the eternal cycles of conflict and resistance, staging humanity’s unrest as both spectacle and truth.
This canvas carries historical weight within Moualla’s practice. A rare opportunity for collectors to secure a piece from his earlier period, where the seeds of his monumental language of struggle and community first crystallized.
