      A painting by the Belgian artist Sanam Khatibi titled “Tasting a Piece of Her Gum” (2023), which she made exclusively for T. Khatibi’s work deals “with animality and our primal instincts,” and she often paints anthropomorphic subjects who “live on their impulses in alluring, exotic landscapes,” she says, “ambiguous [in] their relationship to power, violence, sensuality and each other.”
