N' E/Aitre Esclave 2Rien/Tout


For people who don't speak French , the text means " To Be/To Be Born Slave of Nothing/of All".

I did a juxtaposition between this squirrel which was behind a wire fence and the quote (stencil on a wall) which speaks about slavery: not the past slavery but the current one. Indeed, we have to follow rules and we don't have time to be free.

This squirrel and its background could represent the society in which we are imprisoned. The quotation places emphasis it. We don't see the wire fence in our real life but we know that they exist...
