Hema Shironi’s series Route to Promised Land is underpinned by recurring gridded structures that permeate her compositions created through photo-cuttings - a format through which familiar images are dissected to reveal similar structural principles along with uncertainties that characterise inquiries into cultural identity and migration. Shironi’s work is driven by the nostalgia of the numerous places she has called home and the acute awareness of the hopes, dreams, and desires of each community that continues to inhabit a region with the broken reality of its past.
