REFUGE: STORIES OF WAR (AND LOVE)

A stunning work that explores what it means to refind yourself and reconnect with others while coming to terms with having lived through war. Refuge offers a piercing look at love, survival and dignity, as Nur and Abid relearn to love after escaping conflict. It places Marie at the heart of a village’s struggles to shield new life from the scars of war, while an ageing MI-6 official in London confronts a truth about a daily contact. Lyndsey’s twenty-seven tulips conceal a hidden past, and a soldier prepares for a final mission, adorned in jewels. Spanning decades and continents, the collection turns its lens to those often overlooked in war stories: civilians displaced in terror, families waiting for their loved ones, and those who carry the weight of violence. It is both a deep dive into the darkest corners of the human psyche and an ode to humanity’s capacity for endurance, love and dignity.

Het werk legt nadruk op stemmen die zelden centraal staan en laat zien hoe hoop en verbondenheid blijven bestaan, zelfs tussen werelden die verder uit elkaar liggen.
