Naomi Safran-Hon | Time to return
Naomi Safran-Hon's second exhibition at RX&SLAG is an urgent necessity for the artist.
Born in Oxford (England) in 1984, she grew up in Haifa (Israel) and now lives in New York. Her work, which bears the scars of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, attempts to heal a wound that was reopened by the events of October 7, 2023. This exhibition, featuring works created in both 2012 and 2022, illustrates Naomi Safran-Hon's lifelong call for peace, with a purpose that goes beyond political issues. Everything in her work symbolizes reconstruction, resilience, the interweaving of histories and memories, whether through materials, forms or colors. When art is both cathartic and conveys a humanist message.
