It concerns the displacement of the migrating people and their action at an unfavorable location creating ambiguous forms, spaces, and identity. It leads to form temporary structure and traces which evokes the human presence with ambiguity, mystery, and fragility. sometimes the human body resembles an object and an object resembles a human or living form, which are very temporary in nature. It dwells on the public space such as roadside or in a corner of an alley, which appears to be completely anonymous, evoking human presence inducing a remark on human identity, its class, and hierarchies.
