Abu Jafar intricately weaves emotional experiences into captivating paintings, embracing the richness of his surroundings. In On My Way, the artist uses a simple palette of emerald green, red, orange and purple to express themes of hope, struggle and migration. Completed over 19 years, On My Way serves as a diary of immigrant experiences, particularly those of the Bangladeshi community arriving in the United Kingdom. Jagged lines resembling barbed wire suggest hardship and barriers, while blue streaks evoke rain, memory and fleeting moments seen through a passing window in search of a new life.
