Mask Of Gonçalo Mabunda
Artist: Gonçalo Mabunda
A sculptural mask made of metal and salvaged materials, characteristic of the work of Gonçalo Mabunda, a Mozambican artist known for his assemblages of deactivated weapons. The work takes the form of a frontal mask with powerful features, composed of casings, barrels, mechanical parts, and fragments of electronic circuits. At its base, a stylized cogwheel evokes a sun or a contemporary tribal emblem, reinforcing the mask's ritualistic dimension. This piece fully embodies Mabunda's approach: transforming weapons from the Mozambican civil war into symbolic objects, bearers of memory and pacification. The mask thus becomes a contemporary fetish, a face born from the ruins, reinvented to bear witness and to transcend.
