Thresholds Between Worlds brings together a series of glass sculptures and Tatreez works by Najah Alboushi that merge the architecture and plant life of Oakland and Damascus. Through her hybrid constructions, the artist aims to eliminate and expand the borders between her two homes. Choosing plants that grow in the Bilad as Sham/Levant region and the Bay Area, Alboushi works alongside Syrian poet Nizar Kabbani, who describes Damascus through vines of jasmine and the defense of his homeland through protecting people and a rose alike.
