Upon leaving Arnhem central station during SONSBEEK '16, Marishka Soekarna's work was the first thing you would encounter. Her visual language softened the harsh concrete, providing a warm welcome to visitors. At the current Café Bosch, a second work, a mural, was created. 

By using the theme 'home', Marishka deliberately romanticised the remnants of the colonial era, when Dutch people made Indonesia their home. Indonesians will probably still know certain dishes, loan words, and Dutch buildings in colonial ruins. Marishka, in turn, felt at home during her visit to The Netherlands. She recognised the language, the food, and even habits from her grandmother.

'Feeling at home' is the best feeling there is, according to Marishka. Confortable, pleasant, familiar, like the soft touch of a mother. These feelings are translated to her work. Her murals, which often represent 'the feminine', match with the femine shapes of the then new central station, and the city. She compares the city to a mother. In fact, the wordt 'city' often represents something more overarching, such as 'mother earth'. The literal translation of captital in the Javanese language is 'mother city'.
