Artwork Gallery – Magazine Issue 4. Dream Big

Intro from editor: This issue brings together works about fictional, sometimes fantasy, worlds, the expectations of a dream and a collision with reality. Get ready to see many parallels and different perspectives from artists from all over the world! This issue came out in its own unique way precisely because a dream is a very individual concept. Here are collected experiences and disappointments due to expectations and collision with reality. Some artists share their thoughts on the trap they fall into due to community and imposed patterns regarding gender and your role in society. Other artists - dream of showing their country in a different light, developed and advanced, throwing off the media’s biased templates. We are glad to show you the world through the eyes of artists from different parts of the world and look at familiar things differently!

Mpho Jacobs<br />

My art is figurative. This stems from it being a way for me<br />

to emotionally express myself. I grew up in an environment<br />

where I was expected to be academic and somewhat<br />

robotic and perfect, and it made me struggle with dealing<br />

with and talking to others about my emotions as my mind<br />

saw it as going against my rational expectations. This year,<br />

my work has let go of mourning the past, being that that<br />

rather acknowledges it, and expresses me waiting for the<br />

next chapter of my life.<br />

This series of work has showcased a progression of me moving from speaking about heartbreak<br />

and pain to acknowledgement, peace and hope for the future. “Shoot your shot<br />

[‘Almosts’ still hurt too]” is about accepting how previous heartbreaks from almost-relationships<br />

have hurt me. “Waiting To Fly” is of hope of a new chapter, that ‘dream’ to finally fly<br />

into something new.” Over The Horizon” was inspired by the reality that inspired a dream.<br />

I visited the Windsor Hotel during my internship at the Hermanus Fynarts Festival. There<br />

was an arched window that overlooked the sea. That image was powerful, making me<br />

imagine of being in a space that’s peaceful and calm. I guess the dream is to be in a place<br />

comfortable and peaceful enough to feel like somewhere one can escape. She overlooks<br />

the horizon, awaiting something new. It is my dream, that through a very isolatory season,<br />

it is a moment of peace, of enjoying waiting for a new chapter.<br />
