dc.description.abstract	“Lamaphupha ithini kanti into yawo 2021” series, meaning what is the meaning of these dreams is composed of photographs from performances some manipulated to complete the context and narrative of “surrealism”. Included within this series is an independent installation of enclosed office set-up with a solitary desk to contextualise a real office that was successfully ran and coordinated by a woman portraying my ambitions to overcome all odds. To contextualise this entire installation I use symbols and dramatic imagery because they bring about conversations about how things are not always what they seem and or how things ought to be. This series was also inspired by my frequent dreams which occur every year from about 40 years age. The first dream depicts me highly expectant and sometimes given birth to a baby girl. The second depicts me in a school uniform pushing my then toddler son’s pram with him standing next to it. The third dream depicts me flying with bat wings. This series deals with narratives of suffering, healing and transcendence.	en
