In-between, 2018

​

To be dis-placed is to live with an instability caused by a physical and emotional separation between two places.

In-between explores the notion of displacement between the country I come from and the country I live in.  I have always seen my relocation as temporary, which had the effect of reducing my perception of distance, and the emotional response to that. It is only recently, confronted with a different reality, that I have been experiencing the strange and ambivalent feeling of displacement.

Bringing the two countries side by side within the gallery space highlights the border between those spaces: a boundary which is both physical and psychological. The photographs of the landscapes blur the lines between evasion and enslavement, attachment and separation, happiness and sadness.
