The eighteenth solo exhibition by Dr. Safa Lutfi, titled "Palm Trees and Windows: Colorful Blogs and Tales," was held in the exhibition hall of the Mansour Melia Hotel in Baghdad. The exhibition, which comprised 21 paintings, was part of a series of interactive and augmented reality exhibitions organized by Dr. Safa. She sought to engage the viewer in an active participation with the painting. Discussing the exhibition "Palm Trees and Windows: Colorful Blogs and Tales," Dr. Safa stated: "I found these two words to be inspiring moments. We were exhausted by the dull colors and the rapid rise of machines to dominate everything in life. I turned them to a trace of a human being who once lived here. I turned to painting my paintings with the colors of the sun, making them move and full of life, preparing for an upcoming smile." These paintings are teeming with nature and the good company of shanashil and palm trees, where the viewer goes with the melodies of the flickering of each story, and through colorful and spoken narratives to draw from this source, the shapes of the trees and the magic of the river, and the light colors play a noble music in its deep corners, trying to delve into the terrain of the visual story, benefiting from the depth of the photographed image and through the mechanisms of direct drawing. So that the colors of light remain through the hidden colors and tones embodying that close connection between shanashil and palm trees as a type of pure art. It is an attempt to document the aesthetics of place and nature in the shadow of all the folkloric visuals, which are full of harmonious color on reality, and the painting anticipates the horizons of its lightning flashes in a storytelling atmosphere with a thousand colors and shapes, in an experimental image through the paintbrush and color pastes immersed in authenticity and life, and it is an attempt to create an interactive painting that makes the viewer interact with it to the point that he lives its atmosphere and enjoys it
