"The World Series," inspired by Jacob Lawrence's "The Migration Series," reflects on the concept of movement and the transitional states of individuals and communities. It encapsulates a visual narrative that is non-linear and open to interpretation, with the artist's personal experiences influencing the narrative's direction.
deSouza's art, while deeply personal, also speaks to broader social and cultural themes. It touches on the universal experiences of dislocation, the complexities of identity formation in a migratory context, and the subjective nature of recollecting personal and communal histories. His work is a contemplation on the ways in which personal experiences intersect with collective narratives and how these are shaped by, and in turn shape, cultural and social landscapes.
