Vinoja’s trajectory as an artist is shaped by internal displacement and forced migration since childhood. Her textiles, and installations examine how sites and material archives convey experiences of loss, forced abandonment and shattered realities, especially during the final chapter of the civil war in Sri Lanka’s North East and its prolonged aftermath.

Her work explores the interplay of place and memory, particularly how war transforms the environment and affects human experience. Vinoja’s work offers a poignant reflection on the impact of war, not just on individuals, but on the very land they inhabit, showing how displacement and division permeate both memory and geography.
