The silent yet insidious force of slow violence is laid bare. This photograph evokes the gradual ecological unravelling linked to large-scale development, including plans to become one of Africa’s largest maritime container hubs.

It gestures toward the unspoken consequences of neo-colonial ambition—land dispossession, unplanned urbanisation, and environmental decline. Unfolding in fragments over time, this violence reveals its hidden toll on ecosystems, livelihoods, and the fragile spiritual intimacies that bind people to place.
