Signed
Digital print on cold press paper
141,5 cm x 102 cm
Description:
Fires rage. South Africa has recently been plagued by physical fires that shadow the figurative burning of our society. The flames encroach on the viewer. The flames threaten the veld and the city. In the background the city shimmers in the heat of the fire. We are left wondering why the fire was started, who the arsonist was and what started the fire. Incendiary rhetoric currently peppers the South African political landscape - verbosity that only fuels the fires that impinge on our society's well-being. We are assaulted with the clanging of politicians punting their ideologies. Sentiment divides rather than builds our society and we emphasise differences rather that the commonality underpinning our humanity. Fire destroys indiscriminately and threatens everything in its path. While the fire rages, will we gaze upon it and play the fiddle?
