About The Artwork

The work gently unsettles, confronting the viewer with the quiet ache of forced emotion - a reminder of how easily authenticity can be shaped, silenced, or distorted by the weight of expectation. It asks, with tender insistence, what does it truly mean to be seen?

Against a warm, burning backdrop, a silent tension unfolds - the contrast between what we carry within and what the world demands we show. In this friction, identity trembles, flickers, resists - and becomes something luminous, fragile, and profoundly human.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Navel

Navel Seakamela is a South African artist whose work explores the psychological and social dimensions of identity through abstracted, ambiguous figures. Born in Soshanguve and raised in Tembisa, his artistic path blends formal training with lived experience. Seakamela’s shadowy portraits, often featuring bold red mouths and undefined forms, reflect on visibility, erasure, and the weight of being perceived. His art challenges the viewer to look beyond the surface, confronting themes of race, gender, and societal expectation with quiet intensity and emotional depth.
