“A delightful new photo has been release by Oboe Ngua from her seminal series “All the Bins in the World.” Unlike many in the bin series these includes shadowy figures, one on their phone, the other staring intently at the bin. We feel that we are witnessing a bin-based crime, that society in a microcosm is being shown to us.
In the distance people walk away, oblivious to what is happening behind them. Suddenly we feel the emptiness, the loneliness of contemporary living.
Oboe shows us a bin overflowing, a bin that represents perhaps the artist’s mind, or more likely a way marker on the journey we all face to truth from adversity. Onwards, she seems to say, encouraging us in our individual ways to either reach out and grab the rubbish in our life, or alternatively walk on past, whilst phoning the council to pick up the pieces.”
