Her unique style merges the fluidity of painting with the precision of linocut stamping, balancing freedom with form. Inspired by daily life, Wafa incorporates animals and nature, with plants and flowers symbolizing growth and the blessings of the season.

The bird in the background whispers of hope and renewal.
