He explores how memories, experiences, and histories weave themselves into the fabric of the present, often creating complex emotional and psychological landscapes. Through his art, Zwane delves into the challenges of reconciling the past with the present—an ongoing struggle to accept one’s history while navigating the realities of the here and now. The tension between these two worlds often becomes the central theme of his work, as he reflects on the personal and universal challenges that arise from this conflict. |
