Glendine exhibited Karoo Pietà at Christine X Art Gallery in Malta from 20 June to 6 July 2025. The exhibition was a huge success and she was very well received, with new collectors based in Malta, Spain, and New York acquiring her work.

This body of work was deeply personal, rooted in memory, landscape, and symbolism and brought together two places that have shaped her in different ways: the vast, contemplative Karoo in South Africa and the spiritual resonance of the Madonna in Malta. The Karoo has long felt like a place of reflection for Glendine, a space where absence and presence coexist. In this collection, she drew on its stillness and emotional 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.
