The Symphony in Blue unfolds beneath a lapis sky streaked with copper whispers, evoking dawn over the Mediterranean ports she sailed. Ochre hills echo Sahara memories, grounding a jeweled cityscape of embroidered facades that trace her footsteps through Khartoum, Stockholm, and Dhaka. Scalloped waterways surge in sapphire currents, each embroidered wave recalling rivers where she grew. Three boats drift like emissaries, bridging memory and place. Through shimmering gold leaf and linen, Karim composes a harmony of travel, belonging, and the flowing passage of home.
