Sabiha Al Khemir's "The Samara Series" at The Washington Art Association and Gallery

When Tunisian-born Sabiha Al Khemir found herself stranded for months in Spain during the pandemic, she sought out the refuge of her garden which led to her serendipitous discovery of helicopter seeds–samaras blanketing the ground. Intrigued by their elegance, resilience, and innate ability to fly and grow, Al Khemir embarked on an artistic journey that has culminated in her debut exhibition called The Samara Series, which opens with a reception, at The Washington Art Association and Gallery, on October 14th will run through November 12th in Washington Depot, Litchfield County, Connecticut.
