Literature

In these works, Abdalla has developed the forest into a central character in her compositions. The dark forest archetype, widely regarded as a symbol of the unconscious, looms prominently in children's fables, signifying the potential for peril, disorientation, or a passage to otherworldly realms. Abdalla appropriates this symbol to signify a journey through the forest—an odyssey in which she abandons her comfort zone yet never reaches her ultimate destination. Employing a weighty palette of dark tones, another shift from the vibrant pinks present in earlier works, the artist adeptly navigates parallel and conflicting sentiments of ecstasy and isolation, purpose and emptiness.
