The description provided by the artist: "The monkey holding a rifle may symbolize power and control. The banana is a symbolic gesture of giving, but with the rifle in hand, it becomes a source of threat. The inscription suggests that some voters may feel like they are merely tools in the hands of those in power, and political decisions are made for personal gain, as if someone is playing with them like toys. It also emphasizes the importance of active citizen participation in elections and political life to avoid destructive consequences. Overall, this painting represents a bold and provocative commentary on politics, power, and the role of citizenship in society. It inspires reflection on the importance of active engagement in political life and vigilance regarding those in power. The painting serves as a commentary on society, urging awareness of one's role in the political process." The technique used: Canvas, stencil, MTN aerosol paint, liquid Black/White marker.
