MORPHOUS

This latest work by Lionel Smit, MORPHOUS, is an exploration of hybrid identity and its ever-changing nature within South Africa’s social landscape. This particular piece evokes a question of time, of past and future, and the balance point at which his country finds itself as it embarks on the next chapter of a post-Apartheid and post-Nelson Mandela South Africa, a future South Africa. This “double-vision” is a foretelling, and an acknowledgement of what has already passed, a societal commentary without judgment.
