Ashma Izzat

This intricate pen-and-wash drawing unfolds as a stacked settlement of stairways, rooftops, and quiet corners—an architecture that feels lived-in, layered, and gently observant. Cats perch along ledges and steps, birds hover above, and windows seem to hold stories rather than views. The careful linework and muted tones give the structure a sense of age and memory, as if time has settled into its bricks. In this evocative work, Ashma Izzat transforms a cluster of houses into a living organism—where lives overlap, silences coexist, and every stair knows the weight of footsteps passed.
