Overview
I Am My Tool – Wall Street consists of six large oil paintings that powerfully visualise scenes of a tumultuous confrontation. Men with helmets haunt the surface of the canvases, which depict scenes from the global Occupy Wall Street movement interspersed with abstractions. These monochromatic blue portraits reflect anger and frustration, serving as reminders of protest, violence and corruption.
