Nature inspires me a lot and I always look around when commuting in a taxi. This design was inspired by fish patterns and the colors of the South African flag.

From a glance my pattern looks like a celebration of colour, triangles and lines but in closer inspection the pattern symbolizes the connection that people share with food.
This exhibition runs from 20 October until 8 November 2018 at the Keyes Art Mile precinct.
