Eli’s art piece was in the final at Studio 44AD’s ‘The Art of Communication in the Commonwealth’ prize exhibition. Her piece was created in response to this year’s theme and is entitled ‘Discommunication in the Commonwealth’:
Eli says, “The piece centres around the protests regarding the Brunei law that dictated gay marriage illegal and called for stoning to death as a punishment for those accused. The idea of ‘discommunication’ stems from the fact that countries such as Brunei and the United Kingdom are united by their place within the commonwealth and yet remain so divided on human rights issues such as LGBTQ+ rights, leaving members of the community within countries like Brunei feeling erased, unrepresented and criminalised for being who they are. The image used for reference was taken at one of these marches, with the text ‘stone one of us, face all of us’ being extracted from the sign the protestor was holding at the time.”
