Have you ever taken the time to piece together who you are, or are you lost in an infinite nothingness?
Collage explanation:
The eyes represent voyeurism and society's judgment when we try to be ourselves and break away from the status quo. In a digital age, it's also about intrusion into privacy and social disapproval.
The hands symbolize cultural dispossession and the loss of culture, history, traditions, and identity through structures of oppression, domination, or forced assimilation.
The "man" looking at a "woman" is a questioning of heteronormativity and gender constructs.
The flowers represent the roots, strength, resilience, and beauty that make up the foundations of a person.
The face in the shape of the African continent represents that our identity is strongly linked to our ethnic origins, our intergenerational traumas, and the history of our ancestors.
Space represents time as not linear but cyclical. It also represents the infinite possibilities open to us.
The first collage refers to the fact that we are already complete and only need to complete the pieces of the puzzle that is our existence.
