Joseph - A story of Betrayal

🖼️ Joseph – A Story of Betrayal
Original oil painting by Shorna Abedin

Beneath a storm-touched sky, a stone well sits in silence. Draped over its edge is a crimson and gold robe—once worn by an innocent boy, now abandoned by those who should have loved him most.

This painting reimagines the sacred story of Prophet Joseph (peace be upon him), betrayed by his brothers and cast into a well, as told in the Qur'an and Bible. Rather than depicting faces, the artist uses light, form, and color to express betrayal, pain, and the presence of divine wisdom behind human cruelty.

🎨 Artist’s Statement:
"I painted this from the place of deep spiritual emotion. ‘Joseph – A Story of Betrayal’ is not just a scene—it's a wound and a promise. A wound of human betrayal, and a promise that every well has a hidden sky above it. This work respects Islamic tradition while speaking to every soul that has suffered, waited, and been raised by God’s unseen hand."
— Shorna Abedin
