Watermouth – Aquatint Drawing by Azeezah Muhammad
“Watermouth” is an aquatint drawing that flows between the seen and the unseen, exploring the shifting boundaries of memory and perception. Through rich tonal washes and textured gradients, Azeezah Muhammad uses the aquatint process to evoke both depth and fluidity — a visual language that feels at once delicate and elemental.
The composition suggests an opening, a threshold — a mouth of water, a portal into the subconscious. Its layered surfaces invite viewers to move beyond sight into sensation, to feel the pull of textures as though they were tides of thought and emotion. “Watermouth” is an intimate meditation on selfhood and passage, a reminder of the fluid ways in which identity and memory emerge.
This work carries Azeezah’s hallmark: an invitation to navigate images somatically, where perception itself becomes the subject.
