La couleur naturelles des cochenilles (8)

La couleur naturelles des cochenilles represents Adnan's late career engagement with the relationship between color, nature, and historical knowledge, using watercolor and ink to explore the chromatic properties of cochineal insect dye. The work belongs to a numbered series examining natural pigments and their cultural significance across time and geography. Through this mixed media approach on paper, Adnan investigates how color carries meaning beyond aesthetics, connecting visual experience to ecological and historical understanding. The composition balances representational fragments with abstract gestures, creating a contemplative meditation on the visible world.
