Reflections
Echo of Derogation
The artist describes it as two identical images of the same, introspection – ego and alter ego – joined at the temples. It is reminiscent of the myth of Narcissus and Echo. One is aware of undercurrents of unrequited love, self-love and the faceted nature of a personality.
Neerhalende Weerklank
Die kunstenaar beskryf dit as twee identiese selwe, ingekeer op mekaar – ego en alter-ego – saamgesmelt teen die slape. Dit herinner aan die mite van Narcissus en Eggo. ‘n Mens is bewus van onderstrominge van onbeantwoorde liefde, selfliefde, die gefasetteerde aard van ‘n persoonlikheid. Die kunstenaar haal Ingrid Jonker aan: “..Eggo is geen antwoord, antwoord hy alom / ‘n spieël het gebreek tussen my en hom..”
Isandi esiphindaphinda ukujongelwa phantsi
Umzobi uyicacisa ngokwemifanekiso emibini efana twatse, ukuzigocagoca – ukuzidla nokutshintsha indlela yokuzidla – ihlanganiswe ezintlafunweni. Ibaluleke okwentsomi kaNarcissus noEcho. Omnye unolwazi lothando olurhubuzayo, oluhambela phantsi nolungaqondwayo, ukuzithanda nokuzixabisa kunye neendidi ezahlukeneyo ezibonisa ubunjani bomntu.
