Lerato Motau
A simple act of kindness can turn a bad day into a good day. By taking the time to help others, we not only give them a better day, but their satisfaction and gratitude can make ours better as well. Masks are important, because they can be effective to protect us from the Covid-19 virus.
A bespoke mask is an extension of one’s personality as well as our mental health and protects others. My self-made mask attracts people to ask where I purchased it. Even though they cannot see my smile, my eyes sparkle and reflect my form of kindness when I respond to say I made it.
Lerato is a fibre textile artist based in Orlando West, Soweto. Her embroidery is stitched with wool in mashangane (bright neon) colours, symbolic of her Shangaan ancestry.
