Description
The head wrap (which originated in sub-Saharan Africa) traditionally conveys modesty, spirituality and prosperity and is mostly worn by women.
Men throughout Africa wear head wraps to symbolize wealth and social status.
Head wrapping is a way that we as Africans are able to non-verbally communicate our place in life.
In Mozambique, head wraps worn by women can tell you if she’s a widow, a grandmother or if she’s married.
In Sizwe Khoza’s work it communicates where he come from, his values and his respect
for African women.
In this body of work Sizwe Khoza specifically symbolizes the crown worn by a Queen.
