About this artwork
“Crescent Moon” by Etab Hreib unfolds like a nocturne of remembrance. Under a sky split by light and shadow, a city rises layered, wounded, yet luminous. The crescent above is not only celestial; it is a symbol of endurance, a silent witness to cycles of loss and renewal. Hreib’s fragmented textures mirror the way memory survives never whole, but always alive. Through torn paper, deep blues, and glimmers of gold, she turns brokenness into rhythm, darkness into grace. The moon, tender and eternal, becomes the pulse of a city that still dares to dream.

About the Artist
Etab Hreib’s life has been one of motion, resistance and luminous creation. From the shifting houses of her Syrian childhood, moving from Aleppo to Tartus and finally settling in Damascus, she learned early that home is more than bricks: it is a memory, a colour, a departure.
Her style is expressive-abstract watercolor narrative, that swirl with green vigour, sky-blue liberations, streaks of red rebellion, and deep black grief. Yet the overall palette remains rich, optimistic, full of possibility rather than surrender. She creates simple motifs, a house on a hillside, a tree leaning toward the wind, a window open to dusk, but imbues them with emotional depth and personal geography.
