This piece layers three recurring images which can be recognized in other works throughout the show: the rubber tree vine, the Brabo Fountain, and images of young Congolese workers from The Lure of Africa. Here Thomas continues to draw connections and show the overlaps between commerce, history, visual culture, colonialism, and monument.
