Yasmeen Aldaya | | ياسمين الداية, "Embrace", taboun oven clay, 2024
'This work came as a soothing touch to the heart and a relief from the pain of loss, hoping to touch some of the viewer’s pain and grant them a moment of calm amid the absence. After losing many loved ones—friends and relatives—we have become in dire need of an emotional embrace, a feeling of safety and reassurance.
Embrace is a space for comfort, an attempt to fill the void, and an inner call to restore some peace to ourselves.'
