Yet for Al Solh, it ultimately always comes down to connection: bringing people together and initiating something new and positive. This approach is also reflected in her dual work for Paradys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The film and embroidered textiles shown at H47 focus on the rich, mythical history of the Lebanese cedar \u2014 the tree featured on Lebanon\u2019s flag, and a symbol of unity in a country long scarred by war and destruction. As a companion to the film, Al Solh will also plant a young Lebanese cedar in Leeuwarden during Paradys, together with a group of newcomers. This tree will serve both as a symbol of hope for a new future and as a gesture of connection to this new place \u2014 one they hope to call home and contribute to for many years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":28422,"parent":26221,"menu_order":59,"template":"","marker":[59],"year":[104],"class_list":["post-27681","program","type-program","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","marker-paradys","year-104"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Mounira Al Solh: Fat Branches, Open Pines (2025) - Arcadia<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/arcadia.frl\/en\/projecten\/paradys-2\/mounira-al-solh-fat-branches-open-pines-2025\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Mounira Al Solh: Fat Branches, Open Pines (2025) - Arcadia\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Lebanese-Dutch artist Mounira al Solh was born in Beirut and grew up during the Lebanese Civil War \u2014 a time marked by constant violence and danger that deeply shaped daily life.
