Imants Tillers" Diaspora Trilogy is made up of Diaspora, Izkliede, and Paradiso. It is depicted by four prominent features; firstly, it refers to Tillers" Latvian heritage; secondly, it is made up of modules of six canvas boards; thirdly, the Trilogy consists of three very large and interconnected works that have an indistinguishable composition; fourthly, the Trilogy uses a great deal of phrases. .
Diaspora Trilogy is the story of Tillers" family's history; Diaspora is the introduction to it. Questions of his identity and his past, center and periphery can be found all over Diaspora, because these were the biggest issues to Tillers. I believe that Tillers being an Australian-born child of Latvian immigrants is experiencing lost of self across the two cultures, and he aims to find his complete identity through creating the Diaspora Trilogy. .
Diaspora was completed in 1992, the first of the Diaspora trilogy, made up of 288 canvas boards in the shades of brown, red, white and black. There are 48 paintings, each formed by 6 panels. The paintings are arranged together to form the large Diaspora. It's compiled of numbers, roman numerals, use of metaphors and biblical quotations. .
"You Must Face the Fact", "I and thou", "Earth, O Earth", "How is the Hammer of the Whole Earth Cut Asunder and Broken?" these grave expressions on the left section of Diaspora suggest the unpleasant and appalling encounters that people, especially what his parents experienced during and after the Second World War. But away from all the sorrows, each new day they survive brings new hopes, this can be found in the phrase - "as there is a constant flow of Light we are born into the Pure Land", located on the bottom right of Diaspora. .
Comparing the three-art works in the Diaspora Trilogy, Diaspora is the most depressing piece, basing on its dull colors, the negative expressions used and the reminiscences of the Second World War.
