Lights of Nights by Hani Alqam shows Gaza consumed by darkness and fire, where traces of life vanish under the glow of war.
Lights of Nights by Jordanian artist Hani Alqam is an acrylic-on-canvas painting that captures Gaza shrouded in darkness and fire. Thick, dripping strokes in deep greens and blacks are pierced by vivid orange and red, evoking the glow of explosions. The hazy sky merges with the burning horizon, suggesting a city where the signs of daily life have vanished, replaced by the oppressive presence of war and its relentless flames.
