Crystal beads, Glass
This panel by Ntombephi Ntobela was hand stitched from glass and crystal seed beads onto fabric. Arranged like pixels, the beads create patterns of light and shadow that gradually build a photographic image. Inspired by the reflection of a tree on water, the work renders stillness and reflection to create a monumental narrative and celebrate the artist's journey.
