"FLOWER POWER KIDS (DUELING)" (2014) by Yinka Shonibare is a mixed-media sculpture installation depicting two figures engaged in a playful duel. The figures are dressed in vibrant, colorful fabric, typical of Shonibare's style. They are holding a bouquet of flowers, suggesting both playfulness and a possible connection to the "Flower Power" movement of the 1960s. The figures are depicted with globes as heads, alluding to global interconnectedness and the complexities of identity within a globalized world. This piece showcases Shonibare's exploration of identity, colonialism, and cultural exchange in a playful and visually striking manner.
