Abstract
At the commencement of this thesis I saw myself standing at the
outer limits of my knowledge with my nose pressed against a wall
of demarcation. This wall was built from my willingness to tolerate
systems of control in silence and from my unwillingness to make
my beliefs and personal convictions known. I set out at the start of
this journey with two intentions. I want to raise my voice because I
didn’t want to pretend about my faith anymore. And for the first
time use my art practice as a mouthpiece to tell these truths.
