The Burden II
The Burden II ‘My Trousseau’, by Esna Su extends her reflection on displacement through an intimate look at the dissolution of stability and its makeshift reconstitution. hese ideas reflected white hollow shells patched with delicate fragments of crochet. As if these bundles, bearing the haphazard shapes of belongings left behind, were bursting at the seams. Bursting with the weight of memory, the overflow of refugees, the impulse to survive.
