Umoya

  Employing Credo Mutwa’s thinking of deconstructing nguni words to their roots, I hope to find a different approach of looking at the term, but also understanding the concept of Umoya a bit more broadly. Starting with the first part, Mo (here, in Sesotho), imo (a condition in Xhosa), ummo (ones nature in characteristics), secondly “ya” suggests movement, going (uYAphi, iYA pha, O YA kae ). In essence then using my discernment and understanding of this, I can safely say […]

Conversasie Van Wina

  In this body of work, I aim to focus on the notion of death and my healing processes accompanied with it through a personal narrative. ‘Conversasie van Wina’ speaks about my personal emotive state, questioning the period after my father’s death and how I dealt with this experience. I explore themes of time, death, memory and presence that my close family and I have shared in his absence – with scenes pertaining to our family home, where he spent […]

Confirmation class is where I was taught about the history of the […]

UNITY/DIVERSITY

  This is a story of a social injustice happening in my backyard: Makause, the informal settlement next to Primrose. Several Ethiopian families have settled there, their life is confined between the walls of the container that hosts their Spaza Shop and the community they belong to. Their rituals, the prayer service, the longing for their home. Here, the usual accusation of stealing local jobs and business opportunities are hurled at them. Prejudice and ignorance mark their lives, already constrained and reduced. […]

Studio Portraits

  I have been learning about studio photography and its controlled lighting. The controlled environment has brought me peace, what I found with the studio is that it’s a place where I can just relax and create. Outside the studio, there is a lot going on like people, cars and all that life entails. I can be still in the studio and simply create. I’ve learnt to appreciate the quietness and the endless possibilities of the studio. Controlled lighting is […]
