I am a multimedia art student completing my Honours in Multimedia Visual Arts at the University of South Africa. In my current installation, I examine how mechanisms of power, surveillance, and compliance shape our contemporary society. I question how control is accepted, internalised, and performed in everyday spaces. I work with sculptural figures, surveillance cameras, and streaming devices to explore how power enters ordinary spaces and influences the way we move, see, and are seen.

My current installation, Acquiesce, consists of thirty-five surreal sheep with exceptionally long, skeletal legs. They stand 2.5 meters tall and tower over viewers, creating an inverted power dynamic. The audience can move among and beneath them, becoming small, visible, and part of the work. Some sheep have cameras embedded in their eyes that project and live-stream visitors’ movements. The gallery space is transformed into a site of mutual observation and quiet unease.

Acquiesce draws on the writings of Franz Nietzsche, Michel Foucault, Byung-Chul Han, and Franz Kafka. I explore how modern systems of authority are internalised and accepted, and how society’s growing transparency blurs the lines between resistance and participation. By incorporating absurdity, humour, and otherness, I aim to expose the instability of constructed power. I also question the thin boundaries between submission, compliance, and resistance.
