In a world of constant destruction and reconstruction, Reborn from the Ashes embodies the quest for resilience and healing in the face of adversity. Born of an intimate exploration of the artist’s personal experience, this solo exhibition, weaving together visual art, poetry, and sound, invites deep reflection on transformation and renewal in the face of destruction.

At the heart of this presentation is a video installation showing books rising from the ashes, accompanied by sculptures and a poem, The Last Words of a Burnt Book. This work symbolizes the power of art to transcend censorship and oblivion, underlining the durability of ideas and knowledge despite attempts to suppress them throughout history.

In a dialogue between rupture and repair, the exhibition also explores the theme of healing. Inspired by the art of kintsugi, which celebrates the beauty of imperfections, a centerpiece reveals how cracks in a ceramic vase can be transformed into lines of gold, a metaphor for our ability to find strength and beauty in our vulnerabilities.

Reborn from the Ashes examines identity and the challenges of diaspora, in particular through The Burden, an installation that questions migration, memories, and the burdens of heritage. The work encourages us to reflect on what we take with us and what we leave behind in life’s movements.

This exhibition is an invitation to contemplate how, in the face of adversity, destruction can lead to renewed creation, and how each ordeal can open the way to a new form of healing and beauty.
