Nompumelelo Tshabalala's art-making process involves the exploration of ideas and concepts that centre around female identity, particularly within African cultural traditions and institutions. Her work explores the significance of dress and fabric as symbols of cultural identity and their role in representation. Ngoma's artistic intent to investigate the female identity is evident through her utilization of feminine materials like blankets, veils, dishcloths, doilies, dresses, and headscarves.
