At first glance, Mohammed Joha’s art appears abstract. There are patches of blue, pink and green against grey, with pieces of fabric, paper and cardboard stitched and layered across the canvas.

The artist, who was born in Gaza and has lived in Europe for more than two decades, calls the series Houselessness. A part of Joha’s story is his retelling of how his home in Gaza was destroyed in war, burying more than 500 of his paintings beneath the rubble.…
