Picture books about Immigration: physical and psychological

Question - can illustration communicate social issues based on storytelling through an illustrated book and how to visual conventions support this notion?
Brown land green land
Notions of travelling, displacement and cultural shift
Shaun Tan: above all there is a gathering desire to draw some kind of coherent memory from the messy, fragmented experience of life, a meaningful story that can be passed on to others
Like Shaun Tan, I wish to engage with the reader in the common currency of emotion\
Methodology: basing my solving problem on experience and discovery - empirical through visual experiments and trial and error.
visual diaries
characters
colour association to the characters
experiments in copying, distorting and overlaying my illustrations which lead me to innovative compositions
Onomatopoeia
