Ahmed Alsoudani — You No Longer Have Hands
Ahmed Alsoudani

You No Longer Have Hands

A turbulent tangle of fragmented figures and dismembered forms emerges from Ahmed Alsoudani's frenetic mark-making, rendered in charcoal, pastel, and acrylic on paper. The composition pulses with visceral energy, as distorted bodies dissolve into one another amid bursts of raw, gestural line and color. Rooted in the artist's experiences with war and violence, the work confronts themes of bodily trauma, loss of agency, and the brutal erasure of human identity.
