The Ritual Jar

Isabelle Moreau Hamdan

Medium and support
Acrylic on canvas
Dimensions
20 × 20 cm

A single vessel fills this small canvas, drawn in one broad, creamy line that rises from the base to the handle and the rim.

Behind it, layered strokes of sand, taupe and charcoal make the surface read like an old wall.

Nothing else is needed: the form stands alone.
