In ‘Head of the Guru’ Muzondo recognizes the philosophical power of the guru.  This power represents an implicit threat to certain political regimes.  Intellectuals, musicians, reporters, and artists of all kinds are challenged by the sanctioning of the messages they deliver through their work to the citizens of their country.  The smooth polished surface of this piece combined with the half open eye give the viewer the impression of an elite subject, forced to flee this home country for fear of repercussion.
