Gaby Sahhar

Gaby Sahhar's multidisciplinary practice is shaped by the metropolis as a site of psychological and social tension. Through speculative storytelling, the work explores the gap between inner life and external structures, examining how culture is formed, disrupted, and reimagined through globalised networks. Their paintings resist fixed perspectives in favour of interconnectedness and multiplicity. Informed by queer and gender-focused lenses, the practice considers how imaginative consciousness is shaped by surrounding images and narratives. Using the megacity as a space of unravelling, it investigates hybridity, resistance, and transformation within the human psyche, generating conversations around shared vulnerability, social bonds, and the blurred peripheries of borders.
