This abstract painting marks a bold shift in Malika’s series, introducing rigid geometric divisions and heightened contrast in both color and texture. The composition is segmented, with a large dark brown block anchoring the upper left and lower centre, standing in stark contrast to the surrounding chaos. Dynamic strokes of yellow and ochre sweep across the right and lower areas, their molten, eroded texture reminiscent of shifting geological landscapes. Bursts of magenta, violet, red, and blue emerge from within, accented by metallic gold impasto that adds both movement and richness. A notable element is the circular, burned-out area near the top left — a window-like hole revealing a vivid sky-blue patch beneath, hinting at hidden layers or alternate realities. Fragmented, collage-like elements appear scattered across the surface, resembling torn fabric or static interference, introducing a layered, multimedia quality. The interplay between hard edges and flowing forms creates dynamic tension, symbolizing containment versus freedom or industrial versus organic forces.
