Oupa Lesime Sibeko: Black Dog

oupa_i_0842

When articulating this series of images, Sibeko unpacks how during his formative years he hated men. To him, male role models were in short supply. His childhood development was shared with his grandmother and uncle. This particular uncle was an alcoholic and thus constantly in a state of drunkenness. Lesime states that it was “a brutal, violent and sad home”. These feelings of brutality and violence are echoed through the vulnerability of the naked body.
