Artwork Title: Hush-Hush
Hush-Hush was originally created for an art mural, to celebrate the opening exhibition of ‘Have You. Need You’ in 2012. The artwork was painted live outside the Al Riwaq Art Space in Bahrain. The exhibition was Perry’s first solo show, where she explored the theme of companionship, and it’s significance in social and emotional comfort.
