Because of the complexities of their repeated movements, these narratives disclose an ongoing negotiation of their inner self with the external world across time and place. While this project makes specific reference to the transnational diaspora from Burma, identity, home, belonging and family are common to us all.

This transnational community from Burma stretches to all corners of the globe – from Asia to America, Europe, the Pacific, and even the Middle East – with the largest groups resettled in America and Australia, and many internally displaced and across borders of neighbouring countries.

The series combines typological portraits, domestic landscapes and psychological environments to comment on the multidimensional complexities of being a refugee – both home and away – and expand on longstanding traditions of documentary photographic practice. Framed photographs of various sizes will embody the space. The works will be placed in a constellation like hanging – similar to Todd Hido’s works at Reflex Gallery in Amsterdam or Cristina De Middel’s works at Dillon Gallery, New York. Images from the homes in Burma will be projected into the space.
