Title: Lost uBuntu (Mobile ATM)
Medium: Mixed media—Sculpture
Price: Email: [email protected]

2025
"Lost Ubuntu" is commentary on the erosion of humanity and community in modern society. Crafted from discarded scrap shock absorbers, plastics, TV screen, electric wires, and a metal box, the piece takes the form of a robotic ATM – a symbol of our increasingly mechanized and transactional world.
The ATM, however, is contradictory: it only allows deposits, not withdrawals, suggesting a system that takes but does not give, that consumes but does not nurture. The chain and lock hanging from the metal box reinforce the sense of restriction, of access denied, of opportunities lost.
Ubuntu, the African philosophy of interconnectedness and mutual care, is here turned on its head. In its place is an undesirable vision of isolation, where individuals are reduced to mere automatons, feeding the machine but receiving nothing in return. This sculpture is a searing critique of a society that prioritizes technology and profit over people and relationships - highlighting the contradictions of a system that appears to be designed for exchange, but actually restricts access and perpetuates inequality. The world is losing it.
