The Link Between Landscape and Diaspora
"My observations of nature sparked adventures into landscape and history, and
it was in bearing witness to these injustices that I found language. And
observation and description are at the root of bearing witness: it is about
saying, in the face of the machinations of power to twist and deny its
brutality, this is what I see. It is a simple act, but also a powerful one,
for it cuts through facades and illusions to assert what we can plainly see
for ourselves. It affirms the truths of our lives." More in this stunning
essay, titled, "How Bearing Witness to Nature Helped Me Delve Into
History,"
by writer Teow Lim Goh.
