“i think an artist like me, who’s very much influenced by culture and heritage,

especially from an african context, has to have a big appreciation of the land, the environment,

and where they come from

and i think being out in the world and seeing what i would call the ‘circle of life’ does make you think about some really big and deep subjects – life and death, child and mother

these themes are fundamental to our lives

we even see them in the world

through time in nature and looking at life through the animals and everything else

in the world around me,

i learn and observe a lot,

and get to understand a lot about myself

this is how i access deeper parts of myself”
