This work is a part of my “Great Heart” series, which is titled after the band, Savuka’s song Great Heart. The red symbolises the enduring spirit of humanity and the song was written during the oppressive apartheid regime in South Africa. Despite growing up in Australia, my upbringing was shaped by anti-apartheid music with Zulu language and culture. The ghostly double figure captured in camera is inspired by the ancestral spirit. When death occurs in Zulu religion, the shadow separates from the body and becomes an ancestral spirit.
