DISPLACEMENT
"My work over the past few years has been focused and inspired by the growing crisis of refugee displacement and flow of humanity. Throughout my travels to Germany, India and Central America, I was drawn to the settlements of families who were forced to leave their homeland, escaping terrorism, violence, poverty and war. In a recent trip to Poland and Israel, the memory of my own people, the Jews living during World War II, who were pulled from their homes and taken to death camps, resonated with my work. Currently, millions of immigrants, in their deepest willingness to abandon one’s lifetime belongings, run for shelter with no guarantee of a life anywhere, in order to escape the terror of their country.“
