Where the Rainforest Calls explores the meeting of memory, place and belonging through the recurring archway motif of my Between Two Homelands series.
Through an ancient stone arch, a lush tropical landscape emerges — palms, water and dense green growth illuminated by warm light. The arch carries echoes of Jordan and the places that shaped my earlier life, while the rainforest reflects Far North Queensland, the landscape I now call home.
A blue butterfly moves through the scene as a symbol of transformation, freedom and renewal. Arabic calligraphy is woven into the surrounding textures, allowing traces of heritage and memory to remain present within the new landscape.
The work reflects the experience of carrying one place within us while becoming rooted in another — a threshold where memory and the present landscape quietly meet.
