ABANTU

The Verna painting is my first artistic memory. It ignited my curiosity about how art is created, and when I decided to name my collection after it, I knew I had to include a piece of my own childhood.

This collection is a tribute to my time as a rural boy in the Mthatha,Eastern Cape, a time filled with joy, playing in open fields and making things with clay.

This is why the photoshoot for the collection had to take place in the very space where I experienced that joy.
