Lawrie Shabibi is pleased to present Invisible Fish, by Saif Azzuz marking his first solo exhibition in the Middle East. Opening on 17 January 2026, the exhibition brings together painting, works on paper, sculpture, and moving image, tracing an ecological and cultural history of the region prior to large-scale urban development. A Libyan–Yurok artist based in San Francisco, Azzuz approaches land and water as lived, relational systems rather than extractive resources, foregrounding marine environments, fishing practices, and water as both sustenance and connective force across geographies.
