Artist: Miah Kruger

Artwork Title: Paths we share

Size: 297mm x 420mm

Medium: Graphite Pencil

Inspiration:

This artwork shows our home town and the friends I’ve made along the way and pathways that link us together. The pathway symbolizes the journey and paths we have walked together growing up in Jeffreys bay, but also the paths we yet need to travel on. This artwork is me reflecting on memories of hanging with friends and walking around Jbay,  almost always ending on the beach. It also reflects my hope of the future and of paths we have yet to share.
