In a tranquil setting filled with the sounds of waves and birds, Lubaina Himid's British pavilion at the Venice Biennale captures a sense of alienation through vibrant paintings of workers.

The expressions of the figures in the artwork convey a shared confusion, as they seem to question their presence in this environment. This raises important questions about the nature of belonging.

While the exhibition effectively highlights feelings of displacement, it may leave viewers pondering whether there are deeper layers to the concept of home that are not fully explored.
