The miniature, location and message.





This stone is dedicated to the story of Zozan:

“From her own experience, as a mother with four children, who fled from her home country, she believes that art is the only right way to express her feelings. She tells the world their story by painting.
Vita Hamo Zozan

Zozan Hamo was born in Syria in 1976. She has been painting since she was seven years old.
During her teenage years, she showed her early works at exhibitions in Syria. Through her training as a teacher and later founding her own family, she took a creative break.
Because of the war in Syria, the threat to her family became so great that she and her family
decided to leave the country together. Her husband left in 2015. A year later, she followed alone with their four children. Especially in Greece and in the Idomeni and Illiadis-Kalochori camps the situation was almost unbearable for them, so they turned around.
Zozan has returned to painting this process, the traumatic experiences of her flight.
Most of her work tells about the devastating journey and where the refugees came from (Syria) until they arrived in Greece. A recurring subject of her work is hopelessness and the feeling of being trapped and the free world around them.
Feeling pure loneliness and abandonment, after they have to leave everything they are familiar with.
Although she and her family have been safely reunited in Germany since 2018, her memory still haunts her.
The experiences in Greece have left deep marks. But she has found her own way of expressing her feelings and telling her story to the world.
When she is engaged in painting, she not only sees the pain, but also the hope and gratitude for yourself and everyone else
Refugees who have come to safety at the end of a difficult journey.”

This stone started travelling on 2021-10-31.
