The Legacy Project 003: How often do you think about your Legacy?





When you start thinking about Legacy, no matter what your age or state of health, you take into account all of your accomplishments and disappointments. You take stock of what you've learnt from past activities, what you're doing now, and what you still hope to do.
With varying levels of awareness, we also inevitably reflect on the people, work, ideas, commitments, and social institutions that have given our lives shape and meaning.




The Legacy Project is a distinct, developing collection by Artist Fatola Israel that centres on the largely unaddressed aspect of our life: Death and Human’s perception of it.
It cuts across all borders, race and background.
We are all going to die someday. The question now is how do you want to be remembered? This question to a large extent, should influence our choices and actions.

Time Perspective 02: This is the story of a helpless woman who is about to become famous, but for the very wrong reasons.

We are all currently going through the coronavirus pandemic, and I can't help but ask the question of whether people have to choose between dying by the Virus or by other means? Means such as fear, hate, racism, ignorance or even starvation. Should there be a need for that question in the first place? World Nations casting aspersions on another, so much to blame on the topic of transparency, and world domination. The negligence of Health institutions. Conspiracy theories floating through the wind, here and there. After all is said and done, what do we make of all these? The idea of legacy may remind us of death, but it's not about death. Being reminded of death is actually a good thing, because death informs life. It gives you a perspective on what's important. It helps us decide the kind of life we want to live and the kind of world we want to live in. Leaving a legacy is a human need. It is in part selfish – we want to feel immortal. The idea of le...

She's ART. You don't quite know why you're drawn to her, but you don't question it.

"Eve" doesn’t have a race, color or hair type. Eve is a lifestyle every female lives unknowingly each day, making decisions and sharing her time, self and space with others not because she’s a slave but because she’s the mother of all living. "Eve" is who we are and what we stand for. She’s beautiful, in her flawlessly flawed natural state.

Through Experience - Characterizng our moments in History (Article) Part 1 of 2

You and I Iive knowing that we - and our loved ones - will eventually die. This shadow of death forces us to contemplate what to do with our fleeting time on Earth. Many choose religion to be saved through Faith.  Some even go as far as using Logic and Reasoning: by trying to understand ourselves and the world we inhabit. At the drop of a hat, how do we now possibly explain the root cause of Xenophobia? how do we react to the Xenophobic violence against foreigners (particularly other African Nationals) in South Africa? How should we behave and co-exist with one another? How can we  describe the state of coexistence amongst Africans, or Let me expand it a bit further: between Humans and Nature? Humans might have burned some parts of the Amazon for thousands of years, but the fire records analyzed indicate the scale of forest disturbance in the 21st century is probably unprecedented. Towards this end,  how do we digest our understanding of...
