Allan Kioko Kenya, b. 1994
"Fahili Wawili" is a humorous politically inclined composition depicting two main opponents with helmets, who are far much bigger physically, symbolic of financial might, immunity and influence, they are seen to be swinging blows right in the midst of the ‘poor’ people trapped in the scuffle without any form of protection whatsoever. Flies can be seen buzzing around the armpits of the opponents, symbolic of their ‘stinking character’. The wilting sunflowers represent the general mood of the scene. "Fahili Wawili" is a metaphorical piece that mimics the drama filled election period in Kenya, the origin country of the artist.
