Hourglass Contemplations On Life, Death and the Dreams in-between’, a painting series by Lina Osama inspired by the death of her mother, exploring death as a part of the life cycle of a modern family exposing how the death of a parent can be seen as an inevitable part of life alongside the birth of grandchildren compared to the life stages of trees and plants. The paintings are rich with ancient Egyptian motifs and printed patterns in bright orange hues presenting a deeper view of ‘death’ as the counterpart of life beyond the instant sadness and fright.
Farewell is a painting about childhood memories exploring how one gradually lets go of the past losing a former version of oneself.
The floral patterns reminisce homey vintage table cloths and curtains in a patchwork of thoughts, impressions and memories.
