A series of artworks inspired by the Mandela House in Soweto and other similar matchbox houses in the African townships.

I love Africa! For me, it's a constant source of inspiration and a solid point of reference for my life. I have traveled many times to the continent and I have studied Africa's culture for long. This is a series of artworks inspired by the everyday African life but to also pay a tribute to Shaka Zulu and the long tradition of Zulus, Ndebele, Xhosa and all tribes of the land.
The basic element I used is the brick. Borrowed directly from the typical matchbox houses in the African townships the brick for me is a symbol of people's creativity. A symbol of courage to build a safe place for the family. My bricks are sometimes stable and others unstable. And they are filled with other forms of African creativity. Fabrics, art, leather, animal skins...
