Protection is the second chapter in Samba’s PRECARIOUS series, a journey that questions our feelings and perceptions in a world shadowed by threat of nuclear destruction. The work began with a simple, powerful gesture: Japanese woman invited a thousand people to stitch knots on a belt, each knot a silent prayer.to protect a loved one from bullet at war. These knots carry care, love, and hope, while quietly reflecting our anxieties and fragile place we occupy in the world today.

This compassionate, participatory performance invites the sharing of memories and stories, reminding us of our shared humanity and warning us about our future.
