Dawk l-inqas favoriti huma abbundanti, iżolati minħabba ċirkostanzi lil hinn mill-kontroll tagħhom. Rari jiġu ammirati għall-mod kif jegħlbu l-pożizzjoni tagħhom; minflok, jiġu ddefiniti b’dak li jiġu soġġetti għalih, minflok l-ispirtu tagħhom f’dawn is-sitwazzjonijiet. F’dan il-korp tax-xogħol ġdid, Debbie Caruana Dingli tagħmel dak li jagħmel William Somerset Maugham tippreżenta — l-argumenti favur dawk l-inqas favoriti; dawk li rari jidhru jew jiġu mfaħħra. Kliemu u l-karattri tiegħu minn dejjem ħallew impatt fuq il-prattika tagħha. F’serje ta’ xogħlijiet monumentali, u tluq mill-istil rikonoxxut tagħha, l-artista tinvestiga kunċetti ta’ profanità, moralità, umoriżmu, soċjetà u aspett Malti li qed jevolvi.

Underdogs are abundant, isolated by circumstances beyond their control. They are rarely venerated for the resolve with which they transcend their position; instead, they are defined by what they are subjected to, rather than the spirit with which they endure. In this new body of work, Debbie Caruana Dingli does what William Somerset Maugham does — she makes the case for the underdog; those rarely depicted or celebrated. His words and characters have always impacted her practice. In a series of monumental works, and a departure from her recognised style, the artist investigates notions of profanity, morality, humour, society and evolving Malteseness.
