The Body’s Silent Rebellion
Galerie Hübner + Hübner
In The Body’s Silent Rebellion, Dela Quarshie transforms the canvas into a resonance chamber for questions about the body, identity, and social attributions. In his works, bodies appear as hybrid figures that move between human and tentacle-like, octopus-like forms—a visual symbol of identity as something fluid, adaptable, and constantly changing. The tentacle-like extensions that stretch across the canvas in organic lines represent not only the potential for metamorphosis, but also the questioning of boundaries and attributions.
The rich colors, mosaic-like body surfaces, and figurative transformations demonstrate how identity does not exist as a static construct, but rather as the result of individual experiences and social influences—a quiet but powerful resistance to normative expectations of gender, physicality, or belonging. Quarshie's works can be read as a visual reflection on what remains of us when we change and how strongly external attributions shape our ideas about ourselves.
