About this artwork
My family lineage hails from a rural area called the Langkloof in South Africa. I visited the region on a quest for personal meaning and reconnection with my ancestral past. In the end, this vain search for connection in retracing my roots ended up in offering more questions than answers, obscured by personal yearning and loss. This photograph was taken on the morning of my departure from those faraway lands, overlooking the veiled landscape that…
had promised so much, but yielded so little.

Jac Kritzinger is an award-winning fine art photographer with a rich background in travel, portrait, and documentary work, holding a BA Honors in Film and Visual Media.
Kritzinger expertly balances an edgy, stylized aesthetic with a sense of fundamental realism, utilizing emotive color pairing and dynamic lighting while aiming to capture moments authentically in-camera. For the most part, his photographs are deeply personal while at the same time evoking a sense of universal, mystical transcendence, transforming the ordinary into something sublime and deeply evocative. His more conceptual projects often features a strong social conscience and commentary on modern culture. The language of light ultimately illuminates all, and in that sense his work can be seen as a form of visual poetry, inviting viewers to reconnect with a World often lost in plain sight.
