The word impact has a multiplicity of meanings; as a noun it gives a sense of force, of collision, the action of one object hitting another, or the powerful effect that something has on a situation or person. As a verb it describes the act of striking, or having an influence on something or someone. Whilst the word has connotations of devastation or violence, it is also more ambiguous, inviting interrogations of infiltration, sway or power. An apt description of the central theme of Impact: colonisation.
