This wall holds eleven small, pale drawings in a row. Each one shows faint, smudged shapes—like ghostly fingerprints or quick sketches of hands, faces, or objects. The lines are soft and blurry, almost erased, on a light background. The artist used real fingerprint powder to make these prints, which is unusual for art. It gives the work a strange, almost forensic feel, like clues left behind. Look up Nadia Kaabi-Linke next to see how she turns everyday materials into art.
