Fatima, a painter from Syria, has always found solace in depicting animals—capturing the delicate balance of life and death on canvas. Since arriving at the Taiwan Centre, her work has taken on new meaning. She now paints Taiwan’s endangered species, seeing a reflection of herself and other refugees in these creatures—displaced, struggling to survive, yet deserving of protection. For her, Taiwan Centre is not just a place of refuge but a guardian, much like its efforts to conserve these fragile ecosystems.
