#4 Landscape and Footprints

Painting
Acrylic on Canvas-2020
150x150cm
These works with footprints, focuses on the practice of forgiveness and reconciliation which has a long-standing history throughout the world.
By fusing the Hawaiian method of forgiveness called Hoponobono with an African context, whereby it is believed that errors that are caused by man can bring misfortune to the society or community and, as for individuals upon causing harm knowingly or unknowingly to another, one may be filled with guilt and this can be a cause of ill health in the person due to guilty feelings.
 To accompany the paintings is a sound installation with chanting words,
I AM SORRY, PLEASE FORGIVE ME, THANK YOU, I LOVE YOU, aimed at bringing a feeling of peace and tranquility as a form of intervention.

“As an African conceptual artist, in the contemporary sense, with a multi-disciplinary artistic practice, I employ different mediums and materials such as elephant dung, through the media of painting in a stylized form, FOTO collage, sculpting, film, performance and installations that are conceptually built. My work explores various topics including consciousness, spiritual science, meta-physics, self-development, critical thinking and identity: not limited to queer-feminist agenda. These question how we humans relate to the world around us, our connection to the universe, and what interventions we can take in the environment in order to live in harmony, within and without. Presenting subjects as variable as the effects of armed conflict, and self-leadership the art submits familiar visual signs“
