Sotheby's The colours of Morocco 2025

Description

A top-down composition captures multiple outstretched hands coated in intense cobalt blue and deep green pigments arranged in a circular formation. At the center lies an oval mark of bright yellow pigment resting directly on dry, sandy ground. Harsh natural sunlight illuminates the chalky, powdery texture of the pigments and casts sharp geometric shadows beneath the fingers. Created for Sotheby's project The Colours of Morocco, photographed by Viviane Sassen with styling by Alexandra Carl.
