Charlie James Gallery presents Hug the sky for it, Esteban Raheem Abdul Raheem Samayoa’s first solo show with the gallery. Working primarily in airbrush, Samayoa layers symbols, memories, and cosmic imagery in a haunting greyscale palette. Drawing from his Guatemalan and Mexican roots, Oakland community, and Islamic faith, his works explore resilience, intergenerational healing, and the power of memory, prayer, and collective strength.
