I'm in love with her works, especially "The Butcher Boys", plaster sculptures of three life-size humanoid beasts with powdery skin, black eyes, broken horns, and no mouths sitting on a bench. The artwork represents the brutal dehumanizing forces of Apartheid in South Africa. The animal parts show how people stripped themselves of their humanity and put themselves above others, thinking they were better. 

Always love artworks that inspired by social issues :)

Some part of me told me that it’s the right decision to leave that place, to find a better opportunity. To chase my dream, follow my passion, and maybe have a life that I really want to live. The other part told me that I was too stubborn and proud to even consider staying there for a while. And this waywardness will lead me to a road where thorny plants will cut and scratch my skin each time I go farther, eventually.

My insecurity has never hit me this hard.

I wish I’m unperturbed. I wish I don’t have to covet this and that.


The times she cried,
Too frail to wake this time.
