My Lief Vir Meisie

This work reinterprets photograph of my ouma (grandmother) and myself as a child, showing a moment of hair cutting to explore diasporic loss through familial acts of care and comfort.

An intimate moment unfolds as a woman cuts a child’s hair. The scene is wrapped in bold abstract colors, warm yellows, deep reds, and floral tones. The act itself feels both ordinary and deeply tender, transforming a simple gesture of care into a portrait of closeness.
