“When the Sky Fills the Windows” (2024) by Jordanian artist Hani Alqam is an acrylic on canvas that portrays the erasure of Gaza's landmarks. Using layered blacks, grays, and flashes of turquoise and pink, Alqam dissolves urban forms into drips and fragments, leaving only traces against an expansive sky. The work suggests absence and disorientation, capturing how destruction can strip a place of its memory and shape.
