Moving to a new country means entering a world that is unfamiliar. New surroundings, new people, and a different way of life. Over time, what once felt unfamiliar gradually becomes part of who we are.
In Between Horizons tells this story through Yu’di, a figure rooted in Curaçao, moving between two worlds.
The blue represents Curaçao, the place of origin, while the orange represents the Netherlands, where a new chapter of life begins.
As Yu’di moves from one side to the other, the painting reflects something that often comes with migration: building a life somewhere new does not mean leaving everything behind.
Our roots remain part of us, even as our lives take shape somewhere else.
