About her Work

Hind Soufi’s installation serves as a poignant voice for the victims of wars, violence, persecution, and social injustice. It serves as a testimony to the plight of displaced individuals and refugees, capturing the essence of the human condition in its most harrowing form. The installation evokes a profound sense of pain and burden, depicting people in search of solace, desperately seeking assistance and a place to call home. It compels us to reflect on the privileges we often take for granted and confront the stark realities of true human suffering.

In these troubled times, it is essential to remember those we have lost and to stand united in the face of adversity.
