Tree of Life - Made by Kester, Hilario Nhatugueja, Fiel dos Santos and Adelino Serafim Mate Maputo, Mozambique, 2004

In this whole exhibition it is those two pictures that intrigued me the most. This African modern art took a political turn in these photographs. At first, it was unclear what the ‘tree of life’ was made of. But, when discovered, the perception and the message given changes completely.
This project encourages people to trade their weapons for useful tools such as bicycles, and sewing machines…
