deSouza's work frequently grapples with issues of memory, time, and the dislocation of people and ideas. His pieces, including "A blurring of the world," often blur the lines between figuration and abstraction. They are poetic and subtly political, offering insights into the emotional, intellectual, and physical states of transition experienced during migration and displacement​​​​. Through "A blurring of the world," Allan deSouza invites viewers to reflect on the fluidity and reconstructive nature of memory, the continual shaping of identity through experiences, and the broader implications of migration and cultural intermingling​​​​.
