Literature

This series of paintings and mixed-media compositions was created by Baraka in 2025, inspired by letters and postcards from her late grandfather, who served as the Minister of Irrigation. The works draw from a personal archive of correspondence, focusing on the emotional texts and unique colour palettes found in the postcards sent to and by him. Through vibrant hues and layered textures, these pieces explore the connection between past and present, using the concept of "glitches" to bridge the gap between memory and imagination. This body of work reflects a dream-like method of translating personal history into visual narratives, where the boundaries of time, space, and meaning are fluid, and the real and the imaginary intertwine
