Bronze Age Gold from Wales

Go Home, Polish

In 2008, Cardiff-based, Polish-born artist, Michal Iwanowski, came across graffiti near his home that read ‘Go Home, Polish’. Ten years later, he undertook a gruelling 1900km journey on foot between Wales and Poland with the aim of understanding the notion of ‘home’ amidst the backdrop of Brexit. The journey took 105 days to complete throughout which he posted a diary of his experiences and encounters on Instagram.

The photograph depicts the artist standing in a lake, his hands just touching the surface of the water. The photograph has been taken from above and is framed by trees and foliage creeping into shot at the edges.
