Wet Light in Midnight is a 164-page full-color monograph of Mahsa Merci, featuring recent works created during her remote residency at Wolf Hill Arts (New York, August 2024 – February 2025), alongside a curated selection of earlier pieces. The publication traces a personal and political journey through self-awareness, queer identity, and the
emotional terrain of fear and trauma. It explores the fragile space between visibility and erasure, particularly as it pertains to marginalized identities under authoritarian regimes. Through figurative painting and mixed-media works, Merci gives form to the psychological weight of displacement, silence, and vulnerability, realities faced by many queer
individuals in Iran and across the world. The result is a visually and emotionally resonant reflection on resistance, survival, and the complexities of identity.
