About the piece:
I think about my Tibetan friends who crossed the border into India
on foot, fleeing the Chinese army, with the hope of finding a safer life.
I often wonder what it means to leave behind your home and family, and how much pain one must carry to make such a journey.
There is so much that gets left behind, and so much that stays with you. Through this work, I am trying to capture a small part of what they have endured, the cold, the exhaustion, and the longing for home.
About the artist:
I am Sherab. I was born in Dolpo and raised in a Tibetan school in India. I carry both Dolpo and the Tibetan community with me, and my work is one way I piece these parts of myself together. After high school, I chose the only thing that felt honest to me: making art. My practice grew through experience, painting more than ninety walls and countless portraits across Nepal and India, often relying on nothing but persistence, curiosity, and trust in my hands.
