DISPLACEMENT
Displacement is a series of paper cut collage works made in response to the ongoing refugee crisis. The works look critically at the treatment of migrants and the hostility shown towards them in Great Britain. Being from a mixed race background the pieces are self-questioning of the author’s own sense of sovereignty and place, or lack thereof. The works also consider the irony that institutions and fortunes are so often built upon the hard work of those in search of a brighter future. Begun in 2018, the series is sadly more prevalent in the present day with the aftermath of Brexit, a post-pandemic world, and further global conflict. As such this body of work may still expand, and poses spatial questions regarding inclusivity in our society.
