Taken
Raspberry Alabaster
Size of Piece: 17 x 13 x 10
One night in April, 2014, 276 schoolgirls in Chibok, Nigeria were kidnapped by a terrorist group called Boko Haram. This horrific news transfixed me and I made my sculpture, ‘Taken’, in response. I worked on the piece for months as their story remained alive for me, even as it faded in the news. In the time since, the ‘Me Too’ movement has publicized the global pervasiveness of sexual abuse, violence and repression. Artworks should hold the mirror, too.
