Refugee opens with eyes that are present yet distant. Here, the traditional portrait becomes a layered narrative: vibrant colors far from joyful carry the intensity of survival, the weight of loss, and the quiet strength of resilience. Each segment of the face reads like a map not of where one belongs, but of what one was forced to leave behind.
The undefined background and fractured surface suggest that being a refugee is not merely a political or geographic status it is a redefinition of identity, belonging and presence itself.
Refugee speaks not only in the language of contemporary art but in the voice of conscience.
A striking addition to collections that seek to confront beauty with truth.
