| Introduction | The Kalahari is a wild and untamed stretch of earth that can remind one of a place like the Australian Outback. It is a place of extremes where sunburn in the shadows and frostbite beneath a duvet cover is common. This is also symbolically the space of my consciousness that shows characteristics of the gritty and unrelenting attitude towards my societal surroundings. The Kalahari cover vast and empty spaces that shows incredible contrasts as you drive slowly towards nowhere in its belly. This vast and empty space is seated in my being that either Zen like completes me or opens me to my utter emptiness and lack. A space that is a barren ghetto flat that is empty because misery pawned it empty or it can be a natural minimalist void that can be appreciated in its sacred silence. My expression is the little yelping Jackal that employs cunning and tact to ensure his survival in such a habitat. The rolling bush is my threatening rootless fear of being a meaningless, purposeless human being. |
