Opening Reception: Noel Maghathe: Enough for Me

In their exhibition Enough for Me, on view in ALH’s Main Gallery, Noel Mahgathe beckons viewers to a poignant reflection on the interplay between place, identity, and loss. Through the medium of beeswax, these tile-like sculptures are reminiscent of Palestinian tatreez and architecture, Mahgathe constructs a powerful vessel for collective memory — a repository of stories, history, and aspirations transcending lands and enduring across time. Against the fragility of beeswax stands the resilience of the Palestinian people, echoing the tireless labor once put into the soil through vocations such as farming and beekeeping, and whose land and life are currently being desecrated by an ongoing genocide.
