Lojithan Ram’s practice, rooted in archival explorations and textual analysis, emerges from an intimate confrontation with estrangment—both lived and inherited. Rather than finding anchor solely in his own story and familial experiences, he turns toward the broader, collective narrative of dislocation and rootlessness experienced by his community in the Eastern Province of Sri Lanka, finding echoes of his own experience in shared silences and spectral absences.
