Power play (2010)
The extent at which we go in scaling through the struggles and battles of life sometimes remain unexplainable, and the more we live, the more dramatic it becomes. It is not surprising to see that not all we fight are visible, but yet we must continue to attain the much required victory in all ramifications. It is a power play of race, tribe, position, religion, politics, and above all, the body, mind and soul. After all the fight, the end result could be satisfactory or unsatisfactory, no matter how hard we have tried.
In this body of work, I try to make the invisible, visible, thereby using the rope as a representation of something that could hold us down, and then calls for our struggle with it to break lose, though sometimes we could also bind ourselves without knowing it.
The level of corruption in our minds cannot also be over emphasized, and then the questions comes,' what do we really live or fight for '?
