“Within my artwork, I draw inspiration from cultural objects that hold deep significance in our traditional way of life. Growing up in a Xitsonga tribe, I learned valuable skills from my grandmother, who taught me how to mold clay into pots and reinforce their structures. These pots have essential roles in rituals, ceremonies, and everyday life, particularly in storing water. From a young age, my grandmother instilled in me the values of hard work and the importance of preserving our heritage.”
