| Signage: | Feni's works reflect his deep love of music, particularly jazz. His figures are infused with a musical rhythm, giving rise to a visual and musical dialogue. In this image, Feni relates music to the bull, an animal revered in many African rituals, cultures and spiritual ways of life - thereby also making a political statement of belonging. |
