Totemic Immigration is a contemporary Cubist oil painting exploring migration, identity, and cultural transformation through stacked symbolic forms and fragmented figurative imagery. Influenced by themes of displacement, adaptation, and collective memory, Farron Khan uses layered geometry and shifting perspectives to reflect the emotional complexity of movement across borders, histories, and generations. The totemic structure suggests both resilience and burden, emphasizing how personal and cultural identities are continuously shaped through migration and shared experience. Through abstraction and symbolism, the work examines belonging, survival, and the evolving nature of human connection.
