Enough?

Until Thurs 5 Nov View Venues, Dates & Times

Installation inspired by the tragic loss of life in Gaza

Enough?, created by Isabel Knowland, is also equally applicable to Ukraine, Iran and indeed any other war where innocent civilians are killed and injured. In this sense it is universal. The question Enough? asks how many people must be killed before a route to peace is sought.

It is very difficult indeed for anyone to imagine loss of life on such a huge scale, particularly since the advent of constant mass media which almost inures us to the reality of war. The installation endeavours to address this difficulty and to help the viewer to a realisation of what killing on this scale actually looks like.

The viewer is invited to imagine that each of the 260 figures represents 250 people thus adding up to 65,000, the estimated figure given for the number of people killed in the conflict in Gaza to date. The estimated number of civilian casualties (including injuries) in Ukraine is 56,000 but taking into account military deaths on both sides the number approaches 2 million. Enough?

Enough? was first exhibited in St. Michael and All Angels Church, Oxford, in April 2026.
