Original artwork description
Displacement has many faces many reasons, many convenient justifications. Wars, progress and economic gain being the major manmade contributors other than natural causes like calamities and diseases. This sense of loss for the ones who suffer it, is immeasurable. While for the ones who have not been victims, unfathomable. Some lose their homes while some lose their entire identity. The idea of paradise lost may have deeper connotations for many who have been uprooted forcibly from their haven on earth and thrown out into the turbulent seas of uncertainty. History bears witness to such repetitive loss and yet we fail to learn our lessons. While homelessness is alarmingly on the rise, the causes for such conditions go unchecked. From the aboriginal communities being victimized in many countries to the inter racial strife in Manipur, mass killings in Ghana, the war in Ukraine to the state sanctioned genocide in Gaza, from LGBTQ+ people being criminalized and killed or driven away from their homes and homeland to the migrant workers being treated as slaves, women who have to leave their homes to terminate unwanted pregnancies, we are all party to the mechanism of displacement. The important question is whether we want to challenge that mechanism or be willing participants?
