In Carrousel Cowboys, artist Shaima Moon (SHUSHU) reflects on a period of emotional stagnation: a time of standing still while life continued to turn around her. The image of carousel horses became a fitting metaphor. Figures moving in circles, adorned in elaborate details yet bound to a fixed orbit.Moon draws inspiration from the ornate designs of traditional carousel animals: carved patterns, folk-inspired motifs and decorative textures that suggest stories beneath the surface. If you’ve ever felt caught in your own orbit, this series is for you. May these works remind you that even within repetition there is beauty, wonder and the possibility of beginning again.

Enjoy the ride.
