Ubuhle Bendalo (The Beauty of Creation)
Digital Painting.

Ubuhle Bendalo is a nguni phrase that translates to "the beauty of creation", it serves to be a phrase that is predominantly utilised as an affirmation when it comes to adulating someone's beauty, especially females.

Through my work I'm adulating & celebrating the aesthetics of natural African hair, thus including the manner it's often variously styled and carried by both females & males, especially how it defies the archaic western draconian standards of beauty that have been policing people of Africa and of African descendance on how they should style and carry their own natural hair since time immemorial.
