The Story Behind by Saba Tanveer

05 December 2025

The Story Behind investigates the tension between visibility and concealment, exploring how stories, experiences, and memories often exist in layers that are not immediately visible. My work reflects my personal experiences, using back-painted canvases, partially covered landscapes, and surfaces marked with old scratches and traces to reveal hidden narratives.
