Snakes and Ladders , 2024
Sharon Gekonge
This artwork uses Sharon’s iconic penguin-like figures to satirically depict human behavior within societal hierarchies, highlighting the absurdity and conformity inherent in our pursuit of success. By placing these animalistic characters in structured yet chaotic environments filled with ladders, briefcases, and academic regalia, I critique how societal pressures strip away individuality, reducing people to interchangeable roles within rigid, competitive systems.
