This installation features two colors of 40mm wide elastic bands—red and blue—that alternate and intersect at the center of the space, where two columns stand. All the bands pass through these columns, extending to the four corners of the room. In the central area, where the columns are located, the red and blue bands alternate, creating a visual dialogue between the two colors. At the room’s corners, the bands are separated, with red on one side and blue on the other. However, at the intersection point, the bands intertwine, symbolizing the communication and interaction between the two political factions.

The term “RED VS BLUE” refers to the two main political parties in Malta: the centre-right Nationalist Party and the centre-left Labour Party. Since Malta’s independence in 1964, these parties have shaped a polarized political landscape. This division is not merely a local issue; it reflects a global trend seen in recent years. The growing popularity of certain parties can significantly impact the rule of law, human rights, and fundamental freedoms.
