Born from a desire to imagine a world free from discrimination and marginalisation, Alex Akuete created a series of paintings depicting friends and family stripped of their personal identifiers. Facial features, skin colour, hair, and sex dissolve into silhouettes, leaving only the essence of human presence. In these figures, individuality is both erased and universalised, inviting viewers to confront what remains when all socially imposed labels are removed. By presenting bodies reduced to shadows, Alex Akuete asks whether equality could emerge in a world where the markers that divide us no longer exist. Would humanity unite beyond its subdivisions, or would new boundaries inevitably form? This exhibition invites reflection on our instinct to categorise, and challenges us to imagine a reality in which our shared human core becomes the foundation for connection.
