Description
In this visceral and deeply symbolic piece, Sadequain presents a haunting portrayal of the artist’s sacrifice. Severed, bleeding hands reach upward—one appearing to write, the other mutilated—as if punished for its attempt to create. A sharp blade slices through the composition, echoing themes of censorship, persecution, and the silencing of truth. The distorted, melting forms evoke both physical agony and emotional torment, while the faint script in the background hints at the enduring power—and danger—of the written word. Rendered in bold, contorted lines and somber hues, this work is a profound meditation on the cost of creativity in the face of oppression.
