Conversations: “What Remains to be Seen” Between Aissa Deebi, Bahaa Abudaya and Tirdad Zolghadr

“What remains to Be Seen”, In an age when vision itself has become a weapon, Aissa Deebi’s paintings reclaim the image from systems of power and surveillance. They refuse the aerial gaze that flattens cities into coordinates and lives into data, restoring seeing as a moral and human act. Through the slowness of paint and gesture, Deebi resists the acceleration that governs visual culture, turning the act of painting into one of care and defiance. His grey fields and fractured horizons evoke cities after impact where white becomes erasure, black a residue of what endures, and birds hover as witnesses to loss. These works do not record destruction; they reassemble its memory.
