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.
