Didactic Information |
In what looks like a post-apocalyptic scene, de Wet creates an image derived from both reality and his dreams. Upon a first glance, the pending storm and darkened clouds look menacing, yet are life-giving. This landscape is more than a desolate wasteland: it has the ability to adapt, transform, and renew itself. |
