Background Information
Dismoc Le Ma's 36-day immersion in Kenya forms the bedrock of the 'InterMIRRORsection,' exhibition. Witnessing the daily rhythms of the Luo and Kikuyu peoples, Dismoc Le Ma navigates Kenya's political terrain and tribal interconnectivity.
The initial phase unveils ten paintings that intricately portray a Kenyan muse, highlighting tribal features while bridging ancestral customs with futuristic perspectives. Dismoc Le Ma's work frequently features female muses, as he believes women are the master key to life, unlocking doors to creation, nurturing, and boundless potential. He views the Kenyan woman as the fertile soil for Kenya's growth. Complemented by an installation of floral lights, this segment transforms the venue into a vibrant canvas, illuminating the paintings and enveloping viewers in a multisensory experience.
​
Next, the exhibition engages the auditory senses with sounds directly captured in Kenya. Le Ma harmonizes these with ten poetic expressions crafted during his stay, creating an evocative auditory journey.
​
The final phase showcases ten abstract floral sculptures carved from wood. Flowers serve as a recurring motif throughout the exhibition, symbolizing growth and development.
​
Many wonder what InterMIRRORsection means. Is it a made-up word? Does it serve a purpose? InterMIRRORsection is a term coined by Dismoc Le Ma to highlight the intertwining of personal growth and self-reflection.
