“I Wish I Was Born Here”
Giclee Print 8×10”
In I Wish I Was Born Here, Ammar Bowaihl transforms a personal memory into a collective portrait of displacement and longing. Inspired by his sister’s repeated words, the image confronts the emotional and systemic challenges faced by refugees and immigrants striving for belonging in a place that often holds them at a distance. Standing between wild fields and rigid infrastructure, the subject embodies the tension between rootedness and exclusion — a quiet, powerful meditation on identity, progress, and home.
