Medium: High-resolution reproduction of original painting
Description: A deeply symbolic portrayal of love entangled with sorrow. A woman, wrapped in white, leans into the protective embrace of a man behind her — his arms a refuge, her gaze heavy with memory. Above them, a red bird flies with a thread tied to its body, trailing drops of blood — a haunting metaphor for wounded freedom. To the right, a spider waits in its web, casting a shadow of entrapment and unseen danger. The dark background intensifies the emotional tension, while each element — the bird, the web, the embrace — speaks to the fragile balance between protection and pain. Elaf Alnajjar’s composition invites viewers to witness the complexity of survival, where tenderness and trauma coexist.
Purpose: This artwork is part of a humanitarian campaign amplifying the emotional truth of women navigating violence, memory, and care. It honors the resilience found in connection, and the cost of carrying both love and harm.
