Sublimation (Blue Star) features the logo of Al Jazeera, framed within a blue square and overlaid on a star. The composition is clean, iconic, and immediately legible. But the canvas is not about the logo—it’s about what the logo absorbs. Al Jazeera, positioned as a voice from the Arab world, carries the weight of geopolitical tension, cultural translation, and contested authority. It is not neutral—it is curated.
