Bhukan Singh and Gurmeet Kaur, from the series This Golden Mile, 2021

Bhukan Singh sits beneath a portrait of his wife, Gurmeet Kaur, who passed away in 2019. He now lives alone in sheltered housing, visiting the gurdwara every day. The image is taken from the series This Golden Mile, a love letter to the South Asian community of Belgrave in Leicester. For its residents, the area marks the last mile of a long journey to Britain. The work was made between 2018 – 2022 as Britain negotiated its departure from the EU and began hardening its immigration policies.
