Hoda Tawakol's 'Delicious Monster' at Ruttkowski;68

Hoda Tawakol's first solo exhibition, 'Delicious Monster,' opens at Ruttkowski;68 in Düsseldorf. The artist transforms fabric into both artwork and canvas, using dyes and shapes to create pieces that blend botany, physicality, and intercultural references. The exhibition features multiple series: a giant monstera deliciosa that evokes fascination and threat; cocoon-like 'Mummies' made from nylon and rice, exploring transformation and control; the 'Nudes' series presenting empowered corporeality; and wall-filling date palm sculptures referencing gender fluidity and motherhood in Middle Eastern cultures. The works collectively address the female body and its perception within patriarchal structures, raising questions through their textile landscapes.
