In Blood Out, Blood In, Ghadh Alkandari confronts the fragile boundary between interior emotion and outward identity. The central figure, rendered in fractured planes of vivid color, remains composed as deep red, vein-like forms emerge and connect beyond the body. These organic, heart-like shapes suggest cycles of pain, memory, and emotional inheritance—what is carried within and what inevitably flows outward. Through stark contrast between the muted background and the pulsating red forms, Alkandari creates a visual tension that speaks to vulnerability, resilience, and the inescapable ties between self and experience.
