Mbali Ngwane, I Chose Myself, 2023, Photograph, 282 x 424 mm
Imagine every time you meet someone new you are expected to explain yourself from A to Z. Wouldn’t that be uncomfortable and exhausting? I do not need to constantly remind or tell people of who I am or what I am. I don’t like to be the centre of attention and I feel like wearing dark coloured clothes help keeps eyes off me. I was born a girl nothing has changed, and I am still a girl. It is just that I chose to be comfortable rather than uncomfortable.
