Reflective writing on Thato Makatu’s anthotype works showcased at RMB Latitudes Art Fair in Johannesburg. Through crumpled, stained, and carefully assembled pieces, I explore the beauty in the makeshift, the tender resilience found in change, and the layered rhythms of life. These artworks capture the essence of growth, endurance, and reassembled hope, offering a meditation on transformation and fragile human experience.

Reflections on the intimate evolution of Yolanda Mazwana’s artistic practice, from her evocative works in 'Hiatus' at EBONY/CURATED, to the immersive solo presentation 'What Her Body Does' with Kalashnikovv. Through rich textures, crimson glazes, and sculptural forms, Mazwana explores the body as vessel, victim, and village, confronting patriarchal norms while celebrating feminine complexity. This reflection retraces my visceral resonance with her practice and the shared joy of discovery in artistic explorations.

An exploration of Dominique Cheminais’ evocative exhibition 'A Cage in Search of a Bird' at Kalashnikovv, Cape Town, where raw femininity meets bold, graphic expression. Through contorted characters, immersive canvases, and her considered interplay of painting and text, Cheminais examines the mind’s constraints, transformations, and subsequent liberation. This exhibition invited viewers into a haunting, introspective space that celebrated audacious self-expression and the persisting freedom of the creative spirit.
