After the liberation of Kuwait, the artist’s spirit was rejuvenated with a renewed passion for life, observable from the bright colors in her works during this era. Her figures boast an angelic demeanor with turquoise skin, as she returns to the magical fairytale world she once loved so much. This work is one of the most representative of this period, as the turban, turquoise skin and bird-like body of her female protagonist harks back to the artist’s more joyful oeuvre.
