Featuring Shama Al Hamed
Amia Hasheel, MOJEH, February 5, 2025
"Telling a personal story through her art, Emirati artist Shama Al Hamed showcases a collection of paintings, sculptures and installations that captures the formative years of her life. The debut exhibition becomes more than an art show as an intimate conversation ensues between the art and viewer. Each piece, a self-portrait in its own right, offers a glimpse into the experiences that have sculpted Al Hamed's identity."
 
"The act of jumping is a powerful metaphor throughout this exhibition curated by Walter Willems. It's not just a physical action; it's a reflection of the artist's journey through time, memory, and a complex terrain of human emotion. Each leap is captured in vibrant strokes or sculpted forms, shedding light on the constant push and pull of life and the yearning for more.
