Additional Information

This work by Marijke Lambregtse is inspired by a line in the very touching and emotional poem by Ni’ma Hassan, poet. Marijke’s work speaks about transformation, resilience, and the sheltering power of womanhood. ‘My skirt that became the roof of a tent’ is both literal and symbolic — of making home out of nothing, a need for protection and of turning fragility into strength. It reflects on how women across the world, in times of displacement and hardship, carry the weight of survival with grace and creativity — transforming what they have into what is most needed.
Symbols like the watermelon and birds hold deep meaning in Marijke’s latest series. The watermelon, a symbol of Palestinian identity and resistance, stands for renewal, place and hope — its red, green, black, and white echoing the colours of their flag and a people’s endurance. The birds represent freedom — the longing to rise above walls and borders, the human spirit released. The hand stitching is an important symbolic way of showing how long and slow if any progress in the peace process has been made in these years of devastation.
When Marijke began this painting, Christmas wasn’t on her mind, but now that it’s complete, the colours carry an added sense of peace as well.
