The Silhouettes effacées (anonymous silhouettes) series is a central plank of Tsimba’s work. The busts tend to be made from cartridge cases collected in conflict zones, and pay tribute to the victims of war, by recreating their bodies and bringing them back to life. In this anonymous silhouette, Tsimba uses chains to convey the violence of oppression. However, the depiction of pregnant women conveys a message of hope, as Tsimba tells us that despite everything, “life always prevails.”
