These images, captured and edited in 2019, tell a tale of escapism. Amidst traumatic events, I sought to numb my fear through activities that filled the void of isolation and loneliness. The colour theme represents the disorientation and euphoria within the darkness, highlighting that in the midst of the pain, there would be bursts of colour and temporary bliss.
At least in those moments, I could FEEL
...something 'good' and exciting.

Art walk in Maboneng 🎨
Walls sometimes talk.
A silent and vibrantly loud motion picture; walking through the streets of Maboneng amongst the artsy restaurants, urban architecture and art and craft exhibitions - are the walls that street artists have used to express all kinds of emotion through graffiti and murals, giving the neighbourhood its unique colour and personality.

The 'Art Director' guides your eyes to SEE the ART 🎨✨
So you're watching your favorite movie or maybe a music video, and you're visually grabbed by the glowing butterflies in the background, shifting through shades of the RGB spectrum while the subject delivers their lines. While artists sometimes wear multiple hats—editor, director, designer—there's often a key creative behind these visuals: the art director.
Art direction shapes the overall visual style of a production, while set design creates the physical world that brings that vision to life. Think of art direction as the blueprint and set design as the construction. They work together to build immersive, captivating scenes.
For example, MOM Studios repurposed wine bottles and candles for a project’s set design, adding depth and character to the space. These thoughtful design choices enhance storytelling and emotion, making a scene feel authentic and visually engaging. Next time you’re drawn into a scene, take a moment to appreciate the art director’s magic!
