Living in the centre of one of Africa’s most urbanizing cities has brought me close to the realities of everyday life for most South Africans

 I saw my personal story in the people making a living within the constraints of a lower-middle-class existence. An existence lived between the political and the personal.

 There is an interesting paradox here, the happiness, the anger, the love, the struggle with a politicized human experience.

 My work aims to express the many intersections between systems of power and lived experience.

 Composed in the structure of magazine covers/poster, an attempt to attract the viewer into buying into this story.

 The process always starts with the layering of stories on top of stories. A complex layering of small details that make up a human life. Then the HERO figure with a halo of big brands. As though to promise a solution.

 I draw on a distinct South African trope, attempting to communicate with those that seem to already innately recognize.
