P21 Gallery is pleased to present the Puppets exhibition, which explores the vulnerability of the human condition in an age marked by psychological fragility. In this exhibition, Shihab creates a visual trauma using artistic elements to forcefully engage the audience, making them feel the invisible strings that control them, and encouraging them to break free. Through a unique blend of abstraction and realism, Shihab’s work confronts emotional shocks that provoke deeper reflection.
