'Walls of Burden'
Post colonized condition of Goa is that people leave in a space of aspirations or desires of the west. The migration to the west became an excepted parallel culture especially in Christians and lately to other communities. The aftereffect of this was the dispute within the families which reflect through the rhetoric abandoned Portuguese architecture. For me, it becomes a poetic reflection and evidence of the human condition. The subtle dissolution of architecture becomes a metaphor for time and contradiction. Walls of houses carry a burden of dispute.
Tend to be somewhere else’
Where are we heading towards? Are we colonising our own land? Being in one space, we tend to be elsewhere whether in thoughts or in desires. How do we look at the landscape? Is it just as a changing background?
A constant struggle for European passports, seating on the steps become a reference to these desires towards the west. A battle of these constant thoughts of contradiction creates disorientation.
