Redemption song Jamaican national monument
Return to DiscussionsWhen the Jamaican government commissioned a sculpture to commemorate the country's emancipation I dont know that they we expecting this. Despite being home to a few clothing optional vacation resorts, the prevailing view of nudity in Jamaican society is still driven by colonial mindset.
I see two human beings, two black human beings, one male, one female, standing in the healing stream. They are resplendent in their purity; their heads are raised heavenwards in prayeryes, this is a prayer the work is a silent hymn of communion with, and thanksgiving to, the almighty.
Their nudity is part of their potency it is part of the meaning of their emancipation; their rebirth into freedom. They stand there as a symbol of the naked truth of the argument of emancipation; the truth that we are all equal in the eyes of God
