I am captured by the idea of absorbing, experiencing and expressing freedom in all its forms. And so, my work dotes on the fruits of freedom: moving intuitively, living in love, feeling blessed, synthesising pain and growing at your own pace. Along the same lines, I am enamoured by meaninglessness.

I approach my work with radical honesty toward the medium, toward others, and toward myself. This means allowing what is unfamiliar or uncomfortable to surface within my work, even when it feels dissonant or inconsequential.

My process is freestyle — no plan, no sketch — only what is pulled from the flow in the moment, much like the spirit of a hip hop cipher.

I believe honesty is a vital tool for personal and collective processing. Liberation cannot be born from denial. Beyond peace, true freedom demands a reckoning with what is really there, what has really happened, and what is truly possible (everything is possible).

I’ve noticed how culture can empower and stifle — how it brings layered flavour but can also stunt perspectives. As a Cape Coloured, I don’t know which parts of my heritage were erased, and which elements of my culture are truly mine.

As one part no one, rooted in nothing, I’ve found kinship in other worlds instead: in hip hop and its fifth element (knowledge of self), and in the multiverses created by Black sci-fi and fantasy writers, where belonging isn’t bound by bloodline. These sci-fi and fantasy motifs in particular are a recurring visual theme in my work.
