REFUGEES is a 24X34X1.5 abstract piece defined by horizontal layers that shift gently across the surface. The upper bands move from soft blues and whites into deeper maroons and purples, evoking a twilight sky with its subtle gradations. Below, earthy browns, grays, and muted yellows mingle with streaks of blue, creating a layered landscape that suggests both solidity and change. Textured brushwork adds depth and tactility, inviting closer inspection of the overlapping surfaces. The composition balances calm and urgency, with cool and warm tones blending to form a quiet tension that resonates throughout the work. A small, almost hidden pair of figures in the left center provides a hint of narrative, grounding the abstraction in a human presence without disrupting the overall atmosphere. The result is a contemplative space where color and texture communicate resilience, displacement, and hope.
