WONDERLAND Space always affects the mind of its inhabitants; therefore, limited space always results a narrow minded thinking pattern. In our day to day, life. We encounter so many individuals who suffer from narrow mindedness. This particular thinking pattern which emerges as a result of limited space of this island predominate social, political and economic dissuasions of our island. So, my visual creations, can interpreted as an attempt which analyze formative life style of this wonderland, through contemporary visual forms. CHAMILA GAMAGE NOVEMBER 2018
