Museum of Broken Empires by Naemat Wardak Explore Mondoir Studio Medium: Oil on Canvas Dimensions: 50 x 60 cm Year: 2025 Price: $6880.00 USD Status: available This painting comes from my connection to Kabul and the history I grew up surrounded by. I imagined the museum as a reflection of Afghanistan itself fractured, damaged, but still holding what could not be erased. I use geometric forms to break the space apart, almost like pieces of memory. The empty chair, doorways, floating spheres, and scattered architectural forms suggest people and histories that are no longer fully present. I chose calm colors against darker shapes because beauty and grief have always existed together in Kabul. For me, this is not simply a painting about a museum. It is about what remains after everything has been taken away and the stubborn feeling that our history still belongs to us.
