📍Fukuoka Art Museum, Japan 🇯🇵 (2023)

"Flower Power" (2019) by Yinka Shonibare CBE, captured at the Fukuoka Art Museum.
A striking fusion of beauty and violence: instead of bullets, a rifle releases a cascade of cherry blossoms.
Dressed in vibrant African-inspired fabrics and bearing a globe for a head, the figure reflects on colonial histories, cultural hybridity, and global identity.
