Aya Haidar
Haidar's work strucks by the beauty of the meticulously crafted handmade objects presented. Underneath the beauty lies stories of loss, displacement and migration, stories of day to day life and suffering. These stories are personal and intimate, exploring her identity as a woman of Lebanese origin, her family ties and the understanding of sitting between two cultures.
