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.
