Globalisation promised to provide a better life for humanity, but there are many adverse effects that are quite contrary to this promise. With my artwork I am trying to highlight the need to do something to curb the negative impacts of globalisation.

We are at the beginning of the 21st century. People are striving to meet the new challenges it brings in its wake. The world is connected via modern communication technology enabling high-speed transfer of data, money and all manner of visual information. In this way, we learn of events in far remote corners of the planet. But with all this information my view of the world has become extremely contradictory and con-fusing. This confusion is symbolised by the image of a computer chip forming the background of my work. Globalisation promised to provide human beings a better life, but it has many adverse impacts that are not in keeping with this promise. Egoism is growing worldwide. People are simply out to grab their advantages and benefits, forgetting their obligations to society in the process. Globalisation creates huge gaps between the rich and the poor. I can see this gap getting wider. I have expressed my criticism through different images of the impact globalisation directly has on people’s lives.
I am trying to highlight with my artwork the urgent need to do something to halt the negative aspects of globalisation and to minimise global injustice in all areas of development. Poor children in particular need better care. There must be a global responsibility for them, as they are our future.
