Amulet, 2024
The art of Hussein Salim evokes an understanding of our unique disparities and responses, while simultaneously underscoring the common thread of humanity that binds us all together. Salim views his art as a tool for dialogue and a space to embrace conversation between different cultures, echoed in his works that are characteristically multilayered and rich in texture, color and symbolism, articulating the sentiments of Salim's ability to create space for diverse conversation around expanding one's knowledge and embracing foreign cultures as one's own, to silently speak on formed commonalities running through us all.
