"A project on contemporary slavery, and the myriad forms existing today, each piece in the series depicts a type of bonded or forced labour. Arising from research around Joseph Conrad's 'Heart of Darkness' the series explores slavery in our ostensibly Post-colonial, Post-slavery present day.
Tracing the silhouette of my cast shadow performing various roles of forced labour, was a way to talk about the many forms slavery takes today with my personal feelings towards the subject, which are deeply mixed, complex, and ambivalent." (The Artist)
