Traces of us | Tekens van ons | Imikhondo yethu

Collaborated with Kylie Serebro

The bench bears the traces of human interaction. Bum prints of trousers by three individuals are indented on the surface where people will sit. It talks of the individual in his/her environment and the visible or imagined traces we leave on the world around us. It suggests an on-going process built up over time by everyone who sits here.

Die bankie dra die tekens van menslike interaksie. Boudafdrukke van broeke deur drie individue is ingeduik op die oppervlak waar mense sit. Dit dui op die individu in sy/haar omgewing en die sigbare of denkbeeldige tekens wat ons op die wêreld rondom ons laat. Dit suggereer ‘n voortdurende proses wat oor tyd opgebou word deur almal wat hier sit.
