In Baniyas Square, Hakim Idriss captures one of Dubai’s most emblematic urban crossroads — a place where cultures, energies, and stories intertwine. The scene, drawn from personal familiarity, reflects the pulse of a district deeply connected to the Comorian community and to the city’s everyday rhythm. Through bold knife work and layered tones of blue, yellow, and pastel hues, the composition transcends realism to reach abstraction. The result is not a depiction, but an interpretation — a translation of movement, light, and the vibrant human flow that defines this part of the city.
