The Bondage series consists of small format paintings on concrete depicting the real or fictious removal of various statues around the world — specifically those that celebrate colonial figures or military ideologues. The statues are depicted on an abstract background, as if they were levitating. The straps around the statues, which help to provoke their fall, become an erotic prop.
