Displacement Series
The Displacement Series is created using the altered image of the bare winter tree from the tree cycle pattern. The bare winter tree represents the emigrants who have left this country due to the hard economic season that we current find ourselves in. Yet like a cold winter, this will eventually pass and spring will come. Each painting in the series is named after a friend of mine who has had to emigrate and each winter tree in the painting represents their struggle and story. The use of black and white embodies the choice they had to make, to stay or go?
