WASIMA FARAHÂ
Growing Pains II: Expected Disappointments | Gage Gallery
Farah delves into the complex dynamics of the relationship between a mother and eldest daughter, exploring themes of generational trauma, emotional legacies, and communication gaps. This second installment of her Growing Pains series includes a video installation and paintings centered around the color red (anger and wisdom) that encourage an open dialogue about hurt and healing, offering space to express emotions and begin breaking the cycle of pain.
MOHAMED HERSI
Tides of Tribulations: A Journey Through Solace | Christensen Gallery
Through a series of large scale paintings, Hersi explores emotional states of being that shape both the present moments and fleeting memories of our human experience. From joy and hope to confusion and grief, Hersi uses portraiture, landscape, and abstraction to reflect on what we currently hold and embrace, and what we will perhaps always be sifting through. A moment can hold much emotion, and emotions are what move us.
