"A beautiful thing is never perfect." African Proverb
Looped into textured eyewear, long-bristle nylon brushes sit perched on the subjects face suddenly becoming significant within the mesmerising blue and yellow print. She gazes into the distance as if she can see the future, her eyes filled with foresight and anticipation. Thandiwe utilizes these simple bottle-cleaning brushes, often associated with routine cleaning tasks, to signify the prevalent plastic culture within African kitchens and households.
