Title: Faith Over Coordinates
This work reflects the quiet, often unspoken reality behind migration the space between hope and uncertainty.
At the center is a figure holding a ship’s wheel, a symbol of direction and agency. Yet his vision is covered by fragments of newspaper, representing the information he relies on stories, promises, and assumptions that are often incomplete or distorted. Though he appears to be in control, his journey is guided more by belief than by clarity.
The multiple arms extend this tension. They speak to the weight of expectation, the pressure to succeed, and the need to hold onto many things at once faith, identity, survival. In one hand, a rosary becomes a quiet anchor, suggesting that when certainty is absent, faith becomes a form of navigation.
this piece questions what it truly means to cross borders. While migration suggests movement and freedom, many are still confined by misinformation, economic pressure, fear, and the unseen limitations that follow them across oceans. The journey may extend beyond geographical borders, but the individual remains within invisible boundaries shaped by circumstance and belief.
“Faith Over Coordinates” ultimately explores this contradiction: the idea of movement without direction, control without clarity, and hope that persists even when the path is uncertain. It is not just about where people are going, but what they carry within them as they go.
