LOJITHAN RAM

Arra Kuļamum, Kottiyum, Ampalum

- 

RSFG is pleased to present Lojithan Ram’s debut solo exhibition, Arra Kulamum, Kottiyum, Ampalum , a deeply personal and poetic exploration of memory, loss, and resilience. Rooted in Ram’s Sri Lankan Tamil heritage and experiences growing up in Batticaloa, the exhibition weaves personal and community histories into an evocative visual language. The exhibition takes its title from a verse by the ancient Tamil poetess Avvaiyar, who writes of a pond dried by the sun. While birds flee the empty water, some aquatic plants Kotti, Ampal, and Neythal persist, their roots deep in the cracked earth. For Ramanath an, this image becomes a powerful metaphor for endurance. Lojithan Ram explores ideas of nostalgia and memory primarily through lens based mediums and alternative printing processes. The artist is a graduate of Ramanathan Academy of Fine Arts, University of Jaffna and the co founder of We Are From He
