themes of identity, memory, and the human experience within tense socio-political environments. At the inception of this exhibition, Chaar conducted research on ancient cartography with a special focus on Mesopotamia, where civilizations such as Sumerians, Akkadians and Babylonians have thrived and flourished. Innately, the artist identified similarities in the shapes depicted in the maps she examined and those of human cells, prompting her to acknowledge the undeniable link between individuals and the landscapes they inhabit. By drawing our attention to these parallels, the artist invites viewers to question their personal perceptions of home, belonging, and heritage. Ultimately, Relics invites viewers to partake in the artist's archaeological exploration aimed at unraveling the roots of contemporary societal turmoil. The landscapes depicted can be interpreted as a form of communal self-portraiture, fragmented and disrupted by our constant physical displacements. Within the scenes that sprawl out before us, there are inklings of the human form, fostering the emergence of organic growth. By examining these images, which flirt between abstraction and representation, we are encouraged to search for home.
