Plantation Mall

“Plantation Mall” is a depiction of what I call “Self Made Slaves”. The modern day shackles are actually loose showing the fact that they are free to leave at any given time. The welts on the backs of the individuals represent how we’ve been whipped into believing that having designer brands makes us “look” like “SOMEBODY”. Also notice that the female is holding keys to a luxury car. At the same time notice that her house key has the initials “PH”. The “P” stands for parent’s; the “H” stands for house, representing that she still lives in her parents' house yet she drives a luxury car. The bar code on their necks represent the fact that we have been bought and sold for centuries. Additionally bar codes specifically describe the product. In this case the bar codes would identify the product as “Slave”, the numbers representing the position of the letters in the alphabet. We are FREE to purchase whatever we want, but lets consider our priorities and our future. Don’t let the designer brands enslave you. The Original Oil Painting is available for private purchase or loan agreement for museums/galleries. Please contact us directly to schedule a private consultation.
