From the artist: These works are the people and places of Johannesburg through my optimistic eyes. They are prayers for a hoped-for future and and longed-for outcome for all. My hope is that the viewer can see their own city and its people in the same light, with a bright and vibrant future ahead. I want people to take a different sense of Africa with them: a different idea of what Africanness is, what the cities of Africa are about, and what the people of Africa are about.
