Subject

Doll-like figure with large eyes

Description

Mahoud Ahmad has created, with this composition, an eerie portrait of a doll-like figure in a white dress. Her perfectly rounded face contains two large eyes, one blue and one golden, that are fixed on the viewer, while her dark hair flows wildly outwards from her frozen countenance. Daggers dot the figure’s body; yet, no blood is forthcoming. The background is ambiguous with a seeming bifurcation of black and red.
