Nkanga’s work incites us to leap beyond what we think we know and understand and rewire the circuits of our thinking. In the drawing Escape (2018), a serene female figure holds a series of suspended globes and severed pieces of land that revolve around her, strung together by a rope that she holds tightly in one hand. Her free arm reaches through a glove into a dimension that we cannot see, and another plane of the image presents an ecosphere that is lush and green with life; could there be another dimension that she accesses that is free of environmental destruction, even if only in her mind?
