PREVAILING PANOROMA

2009

Plastic Water Bottle Cans, Twin and Bars

300CM X 220CM X 220CM

Prevailing Panoroma (300cm x 220cm x 220cm) plastic water bottle cans, twin and bars. 2009 With this installation I have tried to addresses the issue of Western imperialism and their disturbing clashing interest in West Africa and Africa as a whole, and propose on a an ideal way of responding to them. These interests impede the sociopolitical and economic development in the continent, and have a devastating impact on the minds and general wellbeing, as well as the future of our youths.I have also given viewers of this installation an opportunity to participate in this concept by cutting many strips of empty bottled water containers and creating a crude curtain with them over the entrance of the exhibition. By pushing this curtain of waste apart before entering, they are demonstrating the dire need for an emancipation from this western imposition and an entrance into a new era of freedom void of such negative external influences.
