Passages is an exhibition of drawings, sculpture and installation exploring the journey of migration. Fragile boats and body-like forms hold stories of movement, memory, and survival. The work reflects the psychological and physical experience of migration—pain, hope, and identity—as we cross borders and navigate change.
Central to the work are fragile sculptural boats and vessels that evoke skeletal structures, embodying the tension between vulnerability and endurance. These forms carry not only the physical weight of travel, but also the invisible burdens of memory, trauma, and cultural identity. The boats’ delicate frameworks echo the human skeleton—structures that support yet fracture, heal, and hold history. This duality invites viewers to contemplate how displacement shapes the body and psyche alike.
Anushiya is a multidisciplinary artist from Sri Lanka, now based in Belfast, who works across printmaking, painting, sculpture, textiles, installation, mixed media, and performance.
