What I like about these art works is that it captures the subtle nuances of present day life and as such save visual images for generations to come!

This initiation scene, the crossing of a mystical line, the walk from boyhood to manhood, the trance and the trauma, the period of life we can all relate to but so seldom express and capture in a visual medium.

The minimal use of technique expose these tender moments, chillingly but all so effectively, telling a story of what was and what awaits the child that is no more!

Transport for the workers classes is a traumatic choice, mostly unaffordable but al so neccassary to reach your place of work. Everyday the worker will reach this crossroad, to spend money on a taxi, money needed for schooling, food, clothes, shelter. The fear of not reaching your destination and not getting paid make him/her pay and at the end of the day fatique will drive most to pay up again … a few will walk … maybe hours … to reach home with a few precious rands more saved for food!

For the privilidged this is just a circle of convenience but for the worker it is a daily crossroad as well, a daily decision of gain or loss!
