Powerful and deeply evocative, this artwork confronts the viewer with the stark realities of economic and social injustice. A child, eyes covered by a blindfold of dollar bills and mouth silenced with a banana, symbolises exploitation, systemic blindness, and voicelessness. Barbed wire enhances the narrative, representing oppression and confinement. Through compelling symbolism, this piece challenges us to open our eyes, awaken empathy, and inspire meaningful change.

The artist’s practice centers on powerful social narratives, employing evocative symbolism and provocative imagery to confront issues of inequality, exploitation, and marginalization. Their bold visual language challenges viewers to question societal norms, fostering empathy, dialogue, and transformative reflection.
