The Space Between Her Hands, Melokuhle Faku, Grade 12Title: The Space Between Her HandsArtist: Melokuhle FakuMedium: Water soluble oils, gold leaf on canvas boardYear: 2025 Dimensions: 35.5 x 42 cmThis piece re-imagines Byzantine iconography, Mary as a Black woman to show how colonial religion erased African identity. Influenced by Byzantine visual traditions and Wangechi Mutu’s engagement with heritage and change, I use gold leaf, symbolic stillness, and Xhosa patterning to connect spirituality with cultural identity. The missing child symbolizes cultural loss and silenced lineage. Xhosa patterns connect to heritage, while the white cutout reflects the contrast of purity and grief.
