Inspired by the Night Journey of the Prophet (SAW), and by Sidrat al-Muntaha, I began this piece hoping to create something that would awaken deeper thought within me. With each stroke, I hoped to step further inside the painting, into a space of contemplation, wonder, and the unknown.

But the deeper I went, the harder it became to know when to stop. Each layer seemed to reveal another possibility, another place the work could go. Perhaps that uncertainty is part of the piece itself. Sidrat al-Muntaha represents a boundary, the furthest limit , and I found myself thinking about boundaries within my own process. How far do I keep going? When does searching become enough? When do I accept that I have reached the limit of what this painting is meant to become?
Maybe an artwork is finished not when there is nothing more that can be added, but when it begins asking something of me that I can no longer answer.
