Oceanic Humanity
Anna Vassena Avvassena
Oceanic Humanity is an artwork stemming from the Ubuntu Project, inspired by the Sub-Saharan Ubuntu philosophy, which views the individual as part of a greater whole that connects humans and Nature. The piece explores the intersection of aerial views of oceans and X-ray scans of individuals, creating a cosmic dimension that dissolves the boundaries between self and other. The X-ray plates symbolize both the uniqueness of each person and the total equality among individuals, conveying a universal message of shared vulnerability. The image, more resembling lava than oceans, serves as an alarming warning about the risks we all face—both as individuals and as a collective. It emphasizes our visceral and primal connection with water, a foundational element of life that shapes our existence. Oceanic Humanity encourages reflection on our inseparable bond with Earth and all living beings, urging a global commitment to safeguard and regenerate the essential connections that unite all forms of life.
