Central to her work are the relationships and exploitations that exist between the natural landscape, people and labour under the conditions of globalisation and capitalism. Nkanga\u0026rsquo;s practice offers an urgent reflection on the stark contrast between the plundering of natural resources and the destruction of the landscape, and the \u0026lsquo;gloss\u0026rsquo; and luxury of the things we desire and consume.
