Ayan Farah's *Raada* is a delicate yet commanding work on cotton silk, built from an unconventional alchemy of ash, alcohol, vinegar, ink, and binder. These corrosive and transient materials work against the luminous, fragile ground of the fabric, creating surfaces that feel simultaneously eroded and alive. The result is a meditation on transformation and trace, where process and material memory are inseparable from the final form.
