Zarina Hashmi's Rohingyas: Floating On The Dark Sea, woodcut print of a solitary white-outlined boat on a dark background with distant stars.

// Rohingyas: Floating On The Dark Sea by Zarina Hashmi, created in 2015, is a poignant woodcut print that addresses the plight of the Rohingya people. This minimalist piece features a stark, solitary boat outlined in white against a vast black background, symbolizing isolation and despair. Above the boat, small dots representing distant stars add a sense of loneliness and vastness, while the black sea below is subtly marked with gentle waves. Zarina’s restrained style and use of monochromatic contrast underscore the emotional weight of displacement and survival in hostile conditions. Measuring 40 cm by 30 cm, this artwork captures a haunting moment that speaks to themes of migration, refuge, and the human cost of political conflict.

What is abstract art?

Abstract art uses form, shape, line, and color to create a visual experience without attempting to represent external reality. The composition exists independently of the world's visual references, focusing on expressing ideas and emotions through non-representational means.
