This presentation brings together a new series of multi-panel paintings by Maryam Hoseini that examine becoming through duration, sequencing, and fragmentation. Each work is composed of three or four painted wood panels that form a continuous field across space. Within these works, the body does not resolve into a singular form; it is stretched, repeated, and held across patterned surfaces and architectural fields. Landscapes drift in and out of clarity, creating moments of tension and disorientation that resist a singular point of arrival.

Hoseini’s practice is rooted in liminality, hybridity, and dissonance: conditions in which identity, memory, and presence are continually reconfigured across geographies, genders, and languages. Figures operate simultaneously as bodily forms and structural elements. Sensuality and violence remain entangled, as bodies are both carried by and compressed within the structures that frame them.

Each panel operates as a unit within a larger continuum, allowing the image to pause, recalibrate, and carry forward. This modular approach draws on the logic of ancient friezes and architectural reliefs, where figures unfold across extended surfaces and meaning accumulates through progression rather than narrative closure. Orientation shifts across panels--some are horizontal, others vertical--producing a sense of movement that is durational rather than directional.

Building on the artist’s recent exhibition Swells at Green Art Gallery, Dubai, these paintings propose a cosmology understood as an open system, composed of mirrored forms and layered anatomies that develop gradually rather than resolve symbolically. Bodies, motifs, and architectural elements extend across seams, as meaning emerges through crossings, delays, and moments of transition.
