The Refugee I
THE REFUGEE I’ based on struggle of Syrian refugees who flee the conflict, continuing their lives in small tents in sprawling refugee camps. Paper rush combined with Syrian carpet ‘hasir’ technique to represent the need for protection. The works almost cover the wearer to give a warm, therapeutic feeling.
