In The Wild

In the Wild, where Bekezela Mabena captures the raw and unpredictable journey of migration, where individuals navigate unfamiliar and often unforgiving landscapes. The layered textures and abstract forms evoke a sense of movement and displacement, mirroring the challenges of survival in uncharted territories.
 
The earthy greens, deep browns, and distressed textures suggest the natural and political barriers that migrants face, while the structured markings hint at the remnants of systems - maps, fences, or roads, guiding or obstructing their paths.
 
Through this piece, Mabena highlights the resilience of those who must adapt, endure, and find their way through the unknown.
