Sacred Morning cascades downward like light through stained glass, like rain on ancient stone. Ghuloum conjures vertical rivers of color: violet bleeds into azure, emerald whispers into rose, each hue suspended in its own luminous veil. The painting breathes with the quietude of dawn, that liminal hour when darkness lifts and the world remakes itself.
Built through countless translucent layers, the surface becomes a meditation on reverence and renewal. Color doesn't sit on the canvas but filters through it, creating depth that feels both infinite and intimate. This is Ghuloum at her most ethereal: painting not objects or places but the feeling of beginning, the sacred pause between night and day where everything is possible and nothing yet named.
