This painting was created in the Habibi studio and explores the theme of women in the context of freedom, light-heartedness and a spirit of adventure. The woman depicted is playing in the water – an adult woman with the carefree spirit of a child. This playful moment symbolises the rediscovery of joy, curiosity and self-determination.
The work shows that women are entitled to make space for themselves: for pleasure, for adventure and for a free, independent life.

Vanessa Marscholek
Her painting is characterised by a sensitive handling of oil as a medium, through which intimacy and presence unfold simultaneously. Figures emerge and assert themselves within the pictorial space without being clearly defined. They remain in motion, open to interpretation. This creates a tension between visibility and inner experience, inviting viewers to reflect on their own notions of freedom and identity.
Vanessa Marscholek has been studying Art Therapy (BA) at the Medical School Hamburg, Campus Arts and Social Change, since 2023 and is currently in her sixth semester.
From late 2023 to early 2026, she volunteered at the Habibi Atelier in Hamburg, where she was involved in the conception and organisation of exhibitions for charitable purposes. In this role, she collaborated with over 40 Hamburg-based artists and supported, amongst others, the Sternenbrücke children’s hospice (2024) and the Löwenhaus children’s and youth centre (2025).
She lives and studies in Hamburg.
