ABOUT THE ARTWORK

As events and trends come and go, we are constantly influenced and as a result, evolving. For this reason even sacred cultural practices and aesthetics change over time. “I chose to portray many of the figures facing backwards. This is to show that they are leaving a legacy far more important than money – rather an evolution of new ideas. They inspire a different outlook on life in the way that we view ourselves and contribute to our culture. To me, they are looking at something far greater than their expectations and are moving toward that light to reveal what they are destined for,” says Nkalashe.
