A QUEST FOR MEANING expands the definition of what Contemporary African Art Photography can be, by accepting that it can and should include the genres of still life and abstraction as seen in the work of European artists instead of the usual restricted subject matters of conflict and political resistance photography or even street fashion photography.
A QUEST FOR MEANING is the title of a new ongoing series that re-examines larger spiritual and philosophical questions through the photographic details of everyday life. AQFM uses abstract photography to refocus the formalism of the still life genre, so that what appears in the microcosm of the photograph is a reflection of what occurs in the larger macrocosm of the universe. The photographs will take the installed form of an astronomical star constellation.
