Description:
The artist reflects back on the past 10 years (2009 – 2019) of living in Bloemfontein. Despite finding the move to Bloemfontein traumatic, she cannot see herself leaving soon. The saying about Bloemfontein rings true: “you cry when you arrive and your cry when you have to leave.”  She looks back at the prominent moments of joy and sadness and the mark that each one has left.
