Ayan Farah — Haiz

Haiz

Ayan Farah's *Haiz* is a luminous, process-driven work in which acrylic, vinegar, alcohol, and fabric dye are allowed to bleed, pool, and settle across cotton silk and linen. The artist's use of reactive, fluid mediums surrenders a degree of control to chance, resulting in soft, atmospheric washes of color that feel simultaneously intimate and elemental. The textile support lends the work a bodily, tactile quality, evoking cycles of staining, absorption, and transformation.
