Expanding on the themes explored in the artist’s Glitch (2016), Thenuwara ponders on the inevitability of glitches in systems - the persistence of social and political issues that despite changes in governments - to the act of changing channels and the distortion that occurs when the voltage fluctuates.
In Waiting for the Missing this glitch manifests in the lack of justice for the forcibly disappeared. Undistinguishable faces are obscured as peer through the glitches, commenting on the extent to which justice and closure are unattainable.
