THE WAY
The installation "The Way" revolves around the themes of journey and humanity. It provides a metaphor through a carpet of footprints descending from the ceiling and extending into a long pathway. This pathway symbolizes the challenging journey of migrants who, at a particular crossroads in their lives, make the momentous decision to leave their homeland, sometimes by choice but often due to circumstances beyond their control. This journey is fraught with perilous obstacles, and migrants undertake it in the hope of finding a safer place to start anew and rediscover hope. However, the path to this sanctuary is neither straightforward nor guaranteed. The true image and significance of this installation only unveil when the viewer is positioned precisely behind it. Following a close and intimate examination, the viewer looks beyond their path to a communal vision, establishing a connection with the broader narrative of human migration. 'The Way' serves as a potent reminder of the shared human experience, emphasizing the resilience and determination of those embarking on extraordinary journeys in pursuit of a better life. It encourages viewers to contemplate the concept of empathy and the profound impact of understanding and compassion in our interconnected world.
