Justin’s work features a small army of terracotta warriors, gentle ladies, and auspicious cranes in a procession ceremony. Positioned between the old architecture and the new extension of the National Museum, they seem to guard and protect the colonial building, like deities. Integrated with elements of commercialisation such as technology gadgets - headphones, laptops, and coca cola cans - these figures are visually arresting.
