‘Manipulation’
This artwork is inspired by the political situation of the Mediterranean island of Cyprus.
How during the course of time, in a certain confined but transparent space, the political
powers, who are the real operators of the game, for their own goals and gains, that is in
order to introduce their own morals, social views, and political agendas, have manipulated
and monitored the people and thus generated a most intractable conflict and petty
antagonisms between the two main communities; the Greek and Turkish Cypriots.
(Base & rods made of Perspex. Figures, each individually made from scratch with
plaster bandage. The artwork rests on two polls made of wood)
