The uncertainty that accompanies crossing over to another country surfaces throughout the series ‘Silent Crossings’ by Anushiya Sundaralingam. ‘Silent Crossings’ wades through the quagmire of migration prompted by civil unrest with a poetic lens. The artist’s works are grounded in a deeply personal experience of leaving behind her homeland amidst the political instability in Sri Lanka. Drawing from a rich lexicon of South Asian imagery, boats become a metaphor for departures and arrivals in Anushiya’s practice. It is an imagination where the perils of the journey, connoted by a boat, become synonymous with life.
