Gaby Sahhar*

Gaby Sahhar's multidisciplinary practice is shaped by the metropolis as a site of psychological and social tension. Through speculative storytelling, the work explores the gap between inner life and external structures, examining how culture is formed, disrupted, and reimagined through globalised networks. Their paintings resist fixed perspectives in favour of interconnectedness and multiplicity. Informed by queer and gender-focused lenses, Using the megacity as a space of unravelling, sahhar investigates hybridity, resistance, and transformation, generating conversations around shared vulnerability, social bonds, and the blurred peripheries of borders.
