Stateless, Gohar Dashti’s most recent series of photographs, offers an outlook on citizenship and homeland that is especially timely in light of the current refugee crisis in Asia, Africa, and Europe. The exhibition is shown at Robert Klein Gallery @ Ars Libri in Boston.
In every corner of the world, devastations of war, massacres, oppression, disease, and death are the cause of widespread human disorders with no imaginable ending. When disasters force people to migrate, where will they be welcomed with open arms? Hoping for a better life, they struggle in a never-ending limbo, an in-between space that strips them of their known identity. Maybe at this point, Nature is the one safe haven for these refugees. The sky becomes the ceiling and the mountains become the walls of their new homes, because Nature is the only place that promises shelter, an eternal and everlasting refuge.
