THE WORLDS:Â CREATIONS
Launch into My Portfolio
The best way to describe my art to describe religion or dogma. My work is a product of faith. A method to navigate though life though the lens of a queer black non-binary artist. It is the spiritual methodology that uses as ritual to exorcise demons and bad omen.
This act is only to walk into a brighter future.
As I have grown and matured, so has my art. Below are some of the pieces I recently created or collaborated
THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF FOK'SPARK
#NAF2016: Theatre: Tshimi, a teenager who has run away from home, arrives in a rundown theme park. Here she meets Zake, a boy who behaves like a young child. Initially struggling to adapt to the strange environment she finds herself in, Tshimi begins to establish a relationship with Zake, and through it she addresses her transition into adulthood. However, the park seems to have a life of its own, and the two characters find themselves in the center of events that are beyond their control
