HALF TRUTHS

Half-Truths have always been ephemeral, and comical just as the TV character Pinocchio. Pinocchio means a liar, and his nose grows with every fib. Politicians, the clergy, rabbis, imams and what have you continue to mislead masses in lies and over many years since creation, people have bought into living in that world of half-truths and lies. The whole system stinks from the root to the head.

Shocking where we are especially as a lying  people that voted lying people into the power of half-truths. Could this uniformity be the cause of like events and similar choices we make and / or adapt?

This means an individual ought to first concur.
The African Charter on Human / People’s Rights, Article 4 states, Human beings are inviolable, everyone has a right to life, liberty and security.
My fellow South Africans, we are jet-propelling, if not arrived as yet, to the violation and undressing of the Nuremberg code 1947 which states that The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential.
Our uncertainty seems to be the new normality.

The heaviness of the artwork depicts confusion in contrast with clarity. The tiny figure on the bottom lip of the face that is inside the mind of the long-nosed character, has an Anatomical crown (Corona)  on and l invite my audience to focus on it as themselves: We are crowned to be waiters to the masters at all costs…
