It is based on the well-known phrase, but with a twist. You can still see three monkeys, each with a black tape seemingly restricting their eyes, ears, or mouth. However, upon closer inspection, it becomes obvious that this is not actually the case, also the tape bears inscriptions of what the monkeys see, hear, and speak.
This way I wanted to create a contrast between what is being presented and what is actually happening. In addition, the white images surrounding the monkeys depict some of the tragic realities of wаr. With their help I wanted to add depth and context, highlighting the importance of confronting the difficult truths of this situation.
Overall, this work was born out of my contemplations and difficulties in understanding why some people refuse to acknowledge the most harrowing realities, and instead choose to reject them or propagate a distorted version of events.
