Fragments of Inquiry
This artwork creates a powerful and unsettling impression through its layered text, obscured figure, and stark color palette. The fragmented Sinhala text, combined with the visual elements, hints at a complex and potentially tragic narrative. The dominant red tones evoke a sense of urgency, danger, historical trauma. The obscured face of the figure, their hands raised in distress ්බා concealment, draws the viewer's attention to the human element within the broader narrative. The "CRIME" tape motif at the bottom adds a layer of contemporary relevance, suggesting a connection to ongoing issues of justice and accountability
