Exhibition Description:
Winged Pilgrims: A Chronicle from Asia is a multi-part installation including sculptures, lightboxes, and a recorded soundtrack which plays throughout the gallery space. The combined works present various iconographies (such as birds, landscapes, and robed figures) whose interplay conveys a history of migration. The migration in question is personal, theoretical, cultural, and philosophical. The series can be seen as a meditation on the expanse and intricacies of globalization.
