Malam's reaction to 911
When satellite dishes poured the information about September eleven 2001 people were shocked and scared all over the planet. A Douala based artist MALAM immidiately took his plaster and moulds to give a face to the feelings that were rushing through his mind and heart. |

Man made disaster.
This is a man made catastrophe. |
|
|
|
Never again.
Nobody would want this to happen to them.People should be careful with what they are doing and be respectful of the other. |
Avoidable.
This could have been avoided if mankind was more attentif, if we could listen, if we could pay attention. |

|
911 everywhere
The artist could have a deep understanding of 911 just by looking at the skattered lives and values in his neighbourhood. |
