Title: Colombo to Jaffna

Medium/format: Mix Media

Size: 180 cm X 60 cm

Date: 2011

Notes:

At the time, the artist has taken the round trip of about 750 km, from Jaffna to Colombo, at least twice a month for one year. The LTTE was militarily defeated in 2009. And now the traffic has started between Colombo and Jaffna. In this context, the artists abstracts the land, see and the sky depicting the common vehicles, trains, boats as well as military vehicles in a simple playful childish manner which is in questioning-contrast to the complexity of the post war situation.
