Name of artist : siyanda Mthembu Title : ukuhlinza size : A3 paper size Medium: Dry point Date: 27 August 2020 Location : Durban City Campus  This body of work is inspired by my childhood experience  in a rural area in Nongoma, KwaZulu-Natal . As  I grew  up and moving into the City spaces, I had to adapt to the new way of life and redefine myself. I had to adapt to the popular language, get used to the busy life,  and adhere  to the  urban clothing.  I  deliberately used  Dry Point  so that I could achieve harsh lines that resemble the struggle in rural areas.
