DIG FOR DIGNITY

Dig for Dignity is a conceotual installation that challenges viewers to confront the metaphor of ”a man digging his own grave" in the context of historical violations of dignity, freedom, and justice.

A mirrored gravestone, set to the eye level, reflects the faces of those who gaze upon it.

This conceptual piece invites viewers to see themselves implicated in the metaphor, encouraging introspection about personal actions and societal narratives. The mirrored surface symbolizes the cyclical nature of history, where dignity, freedom, and justice have been tied to blood and death — underscored by historical events like colonization. Through self reflection, viewers are prompted to reconsider their roles in perpetuating or challenging these cycles, fostering a deeper understanding of the implications of short sighted actions on the collective dignity of humanity.
