Description

Painting of myself and my cousins with my ouma and oupa. Obscured figured are cradled in their arms, demonstrating how family is held together at a distance. Based on a photo of me ad a child in South Africa. This painting is caught in a moment of celebration with family, and it is a way to hold onto the ones closest to us, even at a distance.
