'Uprooted' by Doris Salcedo - A House Made From Hundreds of Trees
Doris Salcedo explores the fragility of home and displacement in 'Uprooted', a monumental installation made of dead trees forming the silhouette of a house.
Known for addressing political trauma through domestic objects, Salcedo creates an impenetrable structure where gnarled roots and tangled wood block entry, symbolizing loss and forced migration, reflecting on global crises, from war to environmental disasters. 'Uprooted' highlights the dissolving connection between humanity and nature, and indeed humanity and empathy, evoking a sense of isolation and rupture.
