Abstract
This ongoing project, with its original name Inside Out, recreates the emotions relationship with cultural displacement; the turbulence of migration, cultural difference, integration, homesickness, loneliness and stability. It investigates the relationship between a state of mind and the experiencing of physical pain. It is a journey inside the mind and body to externalise the pain and blend visual, psychological and social aspects of the experience of displacement. It uses dissection as a metaphor to decode, descend, separate and analyse this journey to the inner core of pain and the emotions associated with it. Starting from the premise that each material and technique has its own particular language, this investigation is presented as a conversation between printmaking, drawing, objects and installation. The art project moves to the level of searching and discovery related to the human soul and consciousness. My drawings not only depict the structure of the human organs in greater detail, but also allow one to imagine their state of physical and emotional wellbeing. I have also made an attempt to tie this with the spiritual world.
