About The Artwork
Sati is an obsolete Hindu ritual of immolation, in which a widow was expected to martyr herself upon the death of her husband, as she was no longer deemed worthy of society. It is part of a body of work looking at crowd behaviour and collective ideology, particularly within hierarchical conditions, where a "leader" at the top has at best persuaded, at worst, brainwashed a group of people, imposing disturbing or destructive ideologies and fears. I further researched the theories of mass hysteria and collective behaviour, looking at different scenarios in history, from the Jonestown tragedy in 1973 to the Tanganyika Laughing Epidemic in the sixties.
