About this artwork
Originally from Khayelitsha. Living in Vrygrond since 2016.
Even though Litha lives in a shack, he makes sure he always looks good. When his favourite pair of trousers became worn out, he became creative in repairing them with different fabric. The idea of Ubuntu Trends, a clothing brand that he started this year with some friends, is based on this principle: re-use and re-think, while being proudly African.
The series will be exhibited… at the PhotoDoc. Fair in Paris 10-12 May 2019. Isabel Corthier will share 20% of the profits with the people portraited.
