During <a href=\"https:\/\/artzuid.nl\/en\/archive-artzuid\/artzuid-2025\/\">ARTZUID 2025<\/a>, her work <\/span><span class=\"s7\">No Return <\/span><span class=\"s6\">will be on display: a life-size sculpture from 2022, depicting an old woman carrying her belongings. She looks beyond the horizon with seemingly unseeing eyes, emphasising the vulnerability and uncertainty of her situation. Oelbers: \u2018What is today can change forever tomorrow. And then we will gather our belongings and leave. Away from where home is for us.\u2019 This sculpture is the first in a series in which Oelbers examines the fragile position of humanity. The work symbolises the uncertain future of people who are forced to leave their homes.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_row_inner el_id=&#8221;art&#8221;][vc_column_inner
