Fatola Israel_Through Experience 2019 When we get to the point where our paths point in different directions and we have to choose what yellow road to pick; above us,the same sky will hover. Sometimes, it may crack a tear, or pour down torrents; other times, it may smile rays of light or scorch out the life it gives. But it is the same sky, same us. The lines of your palms, show them to me; the wrinkles mapped across your face, the same as mine. Your shoes may not fit, but we will tread the same earth. Fatola Israel_Through Experience 2019 Details Your footsteps will match mine as the brown hue spread over our skin. Same skin same sky. Different walks, different paths. Cracked feet will tell of our journey, or would it be the click clack of heels? Chapped lips will break to tell chaps of the tale, or would it be smacking glossy lips? We live and die but only connected dots of memory in history will form our lived experience, and we have...

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...

FAMILY PHOTO 03 CHARCOAL ON PAPER Another dead chick? Or is it just an early bird Fair freckled perfectly laid eggs Hatch open on an early Saturday morning Weak tiny shaky legs Come out of the debris running, Into the still dew wet grass, into a turd, Or is it their sister bird?

You think they are soulless  But spurs and sprinkles of spiritness Spring out of a ruffle of feathers here,  A bleating sigh there,  A cluck cluck cluck around the clock all day,  And the sweet swaying dance of the grass with the breeze.    The turkey, she fluffs her feather "is it I this day? " You think she's proud,  aye?  The ram, he bleats He looks upon his kid The suckling calf, born on the fifth day Or were'nt they all born on the fifth day ?  At least The preacher said so; the whistling preacher  You come all collared up with your knife, The ram bleats a sigh of relief as the shearer struts past his family. Everyone he passed knew his destination was The ever clucking clever chicken cleaving on to her last clove of eggs...

"Lost" Complete Drawing by Fatola Israel The versatility of shades as seen in "Lost" aims to create the illusion of three-dimensionality as provided by the graceful play of light across the surface of the little boy's face, stretched further to the lines of the fabric  and the folded hands, which in themselves exude a certain emotion in their varying thickness, densities and values.  Some of these attributes are more pronounced, clearly defined, while others cast into the shadows. "Lost" fabric details - Drawing by Fatola Israel By replicating reality in the finest detail, I have simply pursued Truth, in an attempt to reveal the Truth about how the world looks, and how it works. This Project "Through Heaven's Eye's" reaches outward to describe truths of "others". Truth about humanity - by puting myself in their position, and trying to reflect with a great honesty, their innermost acclaim. experience...
