This piece si a close portrait of my series which shows the beauty of preserving the spaces we exist in, our cities. The whole concept was inspired by the increase in pollution which tends to make the spaces we inhabit less appealing and plays a role in escalating the climate change crisis.
In this concept, Hlobisile means "She who makes spaces clean", hence in the artwork she is elegant in her recycled waste materials which she has collected around her workspace to make the garments she is seen wearing in the artwork.
The message puts emphasis on the need to take lead in combating social issues or climate issues. Hlobisile is presented as a change agent in her community as well as an innovative being who is showing the beauty of using creativity to recycle and reuse waste materials.
Artwork created for the Pan-African creative Residence "Mbedd mi mbeddum buur la"
