Artist Statement

My inspiration and influence comes from my family love for education. Their influence inspired my thoughts around any subject as a possible language to learn. I moved at Johannesburg to pursue my dream, I saw lots of people with different cultural backgrouds while speaking English fluently to communicate and express themselves. I did not understand English very well, however, I saw that as an opportunity to learn something new.

Then again in this present observe the hustling street as a subject made up by elements of words. On the body of artworks, I used words as a technique to create forms of expression to possessed happiness, challenges and hope to achieve any better lifestyle, as any ordinary person.
