Sawsan Al Bahar’s first solo exhibition explored the idea of “home” as both a physical and emotional space shaped by memory, displacement, identity, and personal history. Through layered mixed-media works combining painting, embroidery, and textured surfaces, Al Bahar reflected on the fragility of belonging and the emotional complexity tied to migration, nostalgia, and reconstruction.
Her works moved between figuration and abstraction, often depicting fragmented bodies and intimate symbolic elements that conveyed vulnerability, resilience, and psychological tension. Rather than presenting home as a fixed place, the exhibition examined it as something fluid and unstable — continuously shaped by memory, loss, longing, and transformation.
The exhibition highlighted Al Bahar’s ability to translate deeply personal experiences into universal emotional narratives, using materiality and gesture to create poetic compositions that explored femininity, emotional survival, and the invisible traces left by lived experience.
