A Setswana idiom puts my practice into perfect context: “Setswana will not die, only the people who speak it”. In the current age, speaking is more visual than auditory. In past generations, information was passed down through oral traditions. My ancestors also used rock art, clay, iron, and paper to represent universal ideas. As their current incarnation, I make use of digital symbols for universal communication across new media platforms.

I use my work to develop new iconographies that re-examine and explore oneirology through Setswana symbolism and indigenous knowledge systems (IKS). Through my practice, I embody the role of a contemporary custodian, interpreter, and developer of nuances and visual lexicons.

As a descendant of the Masarwa or the first people, I am interested in the unbroken link between the ritual depictions of the inter-dimensional.
