In
bodies/BODIES, Kelechi Amadi-Obi transforms the human body
into a metaphor of deep emotional complexity. He deployes the body
to reflect the sorts of experiences Nigerians are undergoing in
these difficult economic times. Amadi-Obi forces to attention the
range of emotions individuals experience: deep frustration, agony,
torment, listlessness, despair, and acquiescence. The poses of people
speak about their life and their responses to it. It speaks too
about their inner beauty and the outer ugliness they encounter.
