Manal Haddadin
“Let’s Start Again” reflects on a world deeply scarred by war, destruction, and the loss of humanity. Its fragmented forms evoke the remains of a broken world, while the light emerging from within them suggests the possibility of renewal and reconstruction. The work is not about returning to the world we once knew; rather, it imagines both the need and the possibility of beginning again from the very foundations—with humanity at the center.
