My contribution to this exhibition was Bound By Labor, a photographic portrait of endurance.

This piece features a female figure dressed in worn servant attire, her face marked by exhaustion. Behind her stands a welded sculpture, an amalgamation of axes, cutlasses, and chains, symbolizing the brutal tools of labour and their historical weight. Together, they form a visual testament to the burdens women bear across time and space.

But this isn’t just a portrait of a person. It’s a portrait of power. Of struggle. Of quiet strength.  A portrait of generations that have carried systems on their backs and yet remained standing.
