Lost and Found. Where is Home?
A joint exhibition by the artists Rita Salnikova and Rowena Galbrun, exploring migration, travel, and the notion of home both as a place and as a state of being.
Rowena was born in the Philippines and has lived in different countries and cultures. The colors, shapes, and painted structures in her work reflect memory, the experience of travel, cultural intersections, and the question of belonging. Her works are not simply objects — they become symbols of life journeys, stages along the path, and emotional landscapes.
Through her collages, Rita explores home as an inner world — a metaphor for memory, identity, feelings, and roots. While the body is in motion, an inner home continues to live within us, waiting to be rediscovered or rebuilt.
Within the exhibition space, the external structures appear as stages, routes, and lived cultures, while the inner collages represent an ongoing search, a sense of rootedness, and an attempt to understand where home truly lies. Home is not made only of walls — it is language, experience, emotions, and memory.
There is not just one home here. There are many homes — external and internal, real and imagined, lost and found. The question “Where is home?” becomes personal, collective, and existential.
