Houda Terjuman – Rising to a New Horizon, 2023
Houda Terjuman, born in Tangiers, Morocco, to a Syrian father and Swiss mother, uses her floating sculptures and paintings to tell the story of migration, exile, attachment to roots and the search for identity. Her surrealistic works take us on a long journey through the Middle East, Europe and Africa.
"My sculptures and paintings are little familiar objects that weave stories. These small objects act as bearers of hope and bridges making the link between cultures. An empty chair symbolises what we left behind and keeps us connected to our roots. A lonely boat is a bearer of hope. A floating bridge invites us to build connections and empathy towards the unknown."
