The Stranger's Trajectory
When the space that should be the warmest of all becomes the source of violence
and trauma, the self casts itself into an unfamiliar sea for the sake of survival.
This series is a desperate existential record, capturing the escape
from shattered roots and the confrontation
with discrimination and profound loneliness as a stranger in a foreign land.
The work begins with memories of a place where it was difficult even to breathe,
and the absolute sense of isolation as an eternal outsider,
even in the land to which I fled.
The meticulously rendered forms on the canvas symbolize the anxious self,
perpetually on the verge of sinking into that vast, desolate ocean.
