Suhail Naqshbandi’s portrait of Noor — the Kashmiri artist and musician — is hauntingly beautiful. The use of shadow and light is so deliberate, it almost feels like a conversation between what’s seen and what’s held back. Noor’s figure, partly cloaked in darkness, is brought to life through soft strokes and deep contrasts, as if emerging from silence itself.
