I’m now the southern element in the group and considering that I noticed that my artistical approach to the theme of the Kasitekesa exhibition is quite different from the rest. Considering sustainability my approach is toned by an apocalyptic perspective without being too negative.
The oil containers are the basic elements to work with and they will have embodied the forthcoming era, representing seed vaults that can be the only option in our human survival.
