ABOUT

Silent Agitation explores themes of surveillance, state power, war, conflict, and oppression through a series of mechanical sculptures. This installation examines how surveillance and control are utilized as tools of governance to shape and regulate the lives of individuals within society.

By transforming objects previously associated with danger and oppression, such as anti-bird spikes, factory machine components and barbed wire, into perpetual performers. I remove the items' original functions and associate them with new symbolic meanings. The altered objects create a mechanical world that offers a critique of and satire on the symbols of power and control. The performative nature of the installations encourages viewers to engage critically with the mechanisms of surveillance, prompting them to question their roles within these systems. Through my work, I aim to illuminate the subtle and overt ways in which state power manifests, provoking critical reflection and discourse on the balance between state control and individual freedom. My installations demonstrate the potential of art to challenge and disrupt established power structures, offering new perspectives on the pervasive influence of surveillance in our lives.
