ᕼI, IT’ᔕ GEᖇᗩᒪᗪ ✌🏼📍Fukuoka Art Museum, Japan 🇯🇵 (2023)<br>
<br>
"Flower Power" (2019) by Yinka Shonibare CBE, captured at the Fukuoka Art Museum.<br>
A striking fusion of beauty and violence: instead of bullets, a rifle releases a cascade of cherry blossoms.<br>
Dressed in vibrant African-inspired fabrics and bearing a globe for a head, the figure reflects on colonial histories, cultural hybridity, and global identity.<br>
