Road of Trials explores the intertwined ideas of roads and roots during times of civil war. When people are displaced, their experiences shift dramatically, often marked by uncertainty, danger, and resilience. The work incorporates elements such as roads, roots, and landmines, as well as individuals with disabilities—each symbolising the physical and emotional landscapes shaped by conflict. Sometimes, simply looking at a place can evoke powerful memories: the music once heard there, the smells that linger in the air, and the atmosphere etched into the land itself.
