I’m honoured to be exhibiting Karoo Pietà at Christine X Art Gallery in Malta from 14–28 June 2025. This body of work is deeply personal, rooted in memory, landscape, and symbolism and brings together two places that have shaped me in different ways: the vast, contemplative Karoo in South Africa and the spiritual resonance of the Madonna in Malta.

The Karoo has always felt like a place of reflection for me - a space where absence and presence coexist. In this exhibition, I’ve drawn on its stillness and weight, weaving it together with the figure of the Madonna as a vessel for grief, resilience, and maternal love. It’s a reimagining of the Pietà that holds both personal loss and quiet strength.

Through this dialogue between land and spirit, I hope to offer something honest - an invitation to sit with sorrow, to witness beauty in its rawest form, and to find a kind of sanctuary within the work. Karoo Pietà is a tribute, a reckoning, and ultimately, a gesture of love.
