Congolese is a haunting digital art collection that brings to light the ongoing strife in the Congo region, ravaged by relentless military conflict and exploitation. At its core, the collection focuses on a lone soldier, standing amidst weapons, gear, and survival tools, each dipped in gold—a powerful metaphor for the region’s immense wealth in minerals and resources, plundered at the cost of human lives. The stark contrast between the gleaming gold and the harsh reality of war speaks to the tragic cycle of violence and greed. This collection challenges viewers to confront the complex intersections of survival, wealth, and devastation in the Congo.
