My third-year body of work deals with society’s moral and urban decay in the City of Johannesburg. My personal experience and associations with mortality, decay, substance abuse, decaying JHB landscape, and mental health issues make their way into my artworks.  Learning printmaking and learning to use printmaking as a coping mechanism helped me escape our dystopian city JHB. In my work, I use bright pink colours and seemingly frivolous patterns in contrast to the dark imagery to help relay the beauty we don’t always see and how we don’t necessarily look.
