NOT Welcomed
Oversized concrete word "NOT" hangs precariously overhead. Underneath, a small gold humanoid figure kneels down to read the word "Welcome" placed within a border line. The installation is a response to the contradicting experience migrants have when arriving and living in their new countries. Regardless of the legal standards of individuals, migrants are unfortunately treated as others, seldom welcomed due to their cultural identity. The artwork is designed in such a way that the viewer kneels down underneath the hanging "NOT" mimicking the gold humanoid form.
