The image is a deeply political and poetic inquiry. This mixed-media piece, based on an aerial photograph of Bagamoyo, evokes the perspective of territorial occupation, where landscapes are abstracted, measured, and inscribed with authority, enabling the accumulation of wealth. While rooted in a specific geography, the work transcends place, gesturing toward global issues that confront us all: the legacies of resource exploitation, the violence of displacement, and the quiet but persistent erasure of cultural agency.
