BANKA!

The inspiration for this piece stems from a classic toy hammering block. The installation explores the emotional and moral confrontation we face when invited to play a game that can potentially harm non-living objects resembling human body parts. By handing over the power to destroy the piece to the viewer, a dilemma unfolds where an ethical question regarding the act of destruction must be addressed. Banka! also reflects on what we are taught as children through play, rehearsing the adult world where violence, power, and gender are common themes in many games and toys.
