It’s a depiction of unplugging from the Societies matrix. Realising that there is more to life than what we see before our eyes. That we are more powerful than what society leads us to believe. Using recycled denim, the blue palette shades signify the feeling of cold and fresh.

It’s like taking a cold shower, how it shocks the body by waking you up. That first deep breath of clarity makes you realise that you’re not a victim and you are in control of your life, through your thoughts and feelings. Using the recycled denim, it symbolises all our imperfections which are really our perfections when we wake up. By using the mannequins as the foundation of this installation, it adds depth to the notion that we live in society asleep, still like mannequins. Yera and her brother Kijani are warriors. Their heads electronically move from side to side like protectors to their Queen Amirah. The three represent the subconscious mind and now being woken up by erasing old beliefs and instilling new empowering beliefs of possibilities. They are guarding it with their life by filtering all societies unnecessary distractions, to elevate them to the next level of spirituality.
