    When everyone talks I hear noise,
    unnecessary noise... criticism... Letting me
    know how I don't know how to handle life.
    When I talk I can't help it but speak my mind
    and I don't think they understand. They tell
    me I have grown horns. I think I'm starting to
    believe them!This is one of the pieces in the
    series TO BE YOUNG when I reflect youth
    feelings and experiences.

    Two friends sitting together and they are embracing their skin tones as I captured the photo they closed their eyes and enjoyed the moment .
    Just with a change in the color of the skin, the person is not going to change. Love the soul and not the color.

    Umgidi/E Mgidini
    The process of umGidi is a celebration commonly practiced by the Xhosa culture through various stages within the transitioning of what they would understand to be a ‘boy’ into a man within the culture. Here we see some of the various phases within the celebratory experience where the boys perform a preliminary showing of ‘ukuQula’, a periodical stand-off where one would challenge another in a duel similar to that of ‘stick fighting’. This happens as the boy-turned-man is returning home from his journey and would be followed by a main display of ‘uk’Qula’ from the Men. Women are also involved thereafter to welcome and shower gifts towards him as he is embraced by his village. This whole process represents a showing of pride and masculinity within the Xhosa community, where old teachings of heritage and belonging are passed down to produce sensible men equipped to tackle the struggles and achievements existing in our modern society. It offers a different and true perspective towards one’s self and this work showcases a unique take on the emotions portrayed.
