In nature, the Mangrove is a physical link between land and sea – creating a connection between two disparate landscapes while dividing them at the same time. I create large scale works of Mangroves that when displayed aim to create an overwhelming environment of images that move between creation and disruption. Growing up in Johannesburg I would drive to school and see people living on the streets, less than 5 minutes away from my house – this was a normal, everyday experience. Johannesburg is made up of contrasting areas bordering one another – the landscapes are connected by proximity but ultimately divided by disparities. This is the parallel between the city and the Mangrove. The Mangrove is used to explore the boundary between connection and division and how my movement between South Africa and America has altered my perspectives of the South Africa landscape and its massive socio-economic disparities.
