This artwork reflects my envisioning of how my hometown, Pietermaritzburg would look in 2050. Church Street in Pietermaritzburg is the central “heart” of the town. It is also one of the streets constantly reminisced about looking neater and better during apartheid than it does now, on the brink of slowly eroding. It is a street now often not well maintained, and during the 2021 lootings at Pietermaritzburg, old architecture faced burning and demolishment that can still be seen today. It is clear that with the current municipal rule of the town, it might continue to erode. . Citizens often wear masks outside, as a form of filter for the pollution affecting the air, a consequence of the factory town Pietermaritzburg has often been. Street vendors line the road, while people meander, window shopping and going about their day.
