How Many, How Many More marks Nada Sehnaoui's return to abstract painting and conceptual sculpture after a succession of impactful large-scale public art installations.
Far from a rhetorical lament, How Many, How Many More is a rebellion, a refusal of the status quo, an implicit call for action spurred by deep-seated fears: it is an ode to a wounded country, Lebanon, and to a region in a deadlock.
In works that often repurpose everyday life staples, Sehnaoui reiterates the imperative to preserve Memory to jumpstart a movement of personal and collective resilience, and questions History's linearity to open doors to possible hopeful futures.
