Houda Terjuman, Uprooted Palm, 2021
It is precisely in this fine space between the ideal that a new life in a new place can offer, mixed with the regret of loss and nostalgia that is carried through the process of migration, that I have chosen to situate my practice and through which I work to represent feelings of floating freedom, but also of fear and insecurity. - Houda Terjuman
In her floating sculptures she takes us on a journey through the Middle East, Europe and Africa. Her work explores identity, displacement and stability. The search for a home becomes a stressful and painful process that shows the connectivity and heterogeneity of our de-territorialized world.
