Abajour (The Shutter) draws inspiration from the Lebanese dialect, where “Abajour” refers to the shutters that soften the Mediterranean sun, creating a quiet boundary between the energy of the street and the intimacy of home. Part of the Human Map series, this large-scale artwork reimagines the shutter not as a functional object but as a visual rhythm of light and shadow, symbolizing privacy, resilience, and the lived experience of Lebanese domestic life. Through confident, structural brushwork and a refined, balanced color palette, Suzanne Braidy explores how architectural elements influence memory, safety, and emotional space. The composition becomes a reflection on the “geometry of home,” shaped by decades of observation and a life lived between cultures, offering a powerful and contemporary meditation on identity, place, and belonging.
