When words are simply not enough, I create.
When I need to be heard, I create.
I’ve found my voice in art. -MARA
In my artistic journey, I draw immense inspiration from the intricacies of politics, social issues, and cultural landscapes, especially where my country, my people, minority groups, and the oppressed are affected. A deep sense of hope, change, and justice fuels my creations, compelling me to bring attention to prevailing situations or problems.
Rooted in my identity and heritage, my art weaves a powerful narrative exploring the complex relationship between the last remaining colony and the world's mightiest nation, delving into the profound consequences that arise from this relationship. Silence can perpetuate injustice, each artwork I create serves as a chronicle of this relationship and its far-reaching consequences, urging us all to break the chains of silence and be agents of change.
Conceptually, my work is a labyrinth of layers, inviting viewers to embark on a profound journey, peeling back each stratum to reveal profound revelations. I yearn for my art to evoke an emotional dialogue, even if it means confronting discomfort, as this cathartic experience fosters understanding and transformation.
Through my fearless expression, I challenge norms and invite contemplation, encouraging viewers to explore their own emotions and perspectives. My ultimate goal is to spark conversations that lead to collective growth, igniting a fire of unity and action against injustice. Together, we shall rise, undeterred, and redefine our shared destiny through art's powerful language of truth.
