VERBONDE TOTEMS

Description & Inspiration
A visual tapestry of ancestry and identity, Verbonde Totems explores the unspoken codes that bind us — to culture, to memory, to each other. Inspired by the colors and rhythm of South African visual language, the painting weaves totemic figures with fractured geometry and organic marks, suggesting how our histories are both inherited and reassembled. It speaks to the push and pull of belonging: how we carry the past in our bodies, yet reimagine it through new eyes.
