This new body of work comprises both paintings on recycled sailcloth and sculptures made from gourds grown in the artist's garden, centering Hakim's personal and familial roots in the landscapes of Latin America. Hakim was born in Colombia, adopted as an infant, and moved across three continents as a child.  This international upbringing dislocated him from his origins, leaving him with only the landscape of his birthplace as a foundation for his personal history. In this body of work, the fruits of his native Colombia are presented as anthropomorphized portraits, taking the place of the faces of his birth family, which remain unknown to him.
