LOOK AT ME AND REFLECT UPON YOURSELF

It is the same culture that people are still practicing. They are carrying on a legacy but the religious convictions have now become a dogma. The cultural stagnation manifests in the artifacts that people here sell. They are copying the work ......... repeatedly, as if there creativity has been stiffed by this weight of history.

The frustration and the pain of this legacy are apparent in the eyes of the youth here. They are entrenched in there own history and seeing them, I too feel sad. I want to represent their feelings in my performance, and for this reason my title is ‘Look At Me And Reflect Upon Your Self.’
