Description:
Ouidah, Benin. Slave Route. A large sculptural element from the original Door of No Return, lying overturned on the ground following the deconstruction works at the memorial site in 2025. The piece, in shades of green and turquoise, rests against its shattered concrete base amid crushed rubble and construction debris. In the foreground, a detached fragment — likely a secondary sculpted element — lies separately in the dust. The bright green metal fence in the background underscores the stark contrast between the brutality of the dismantling and the symbolic weight of this memorial artwork brought to the ground.
