Arriving in Johannesburg fulfilled a long-held dream that had been nurtured over many years. The profound journey to Soweto unveiled stark contrasts between the Indigenous people and colonizers, a disparity intricately illustrated through housing inequalities and glaring disparities. Johannesburg's towering high-rises stand as symbols of immense wealth and opportunity, while the adjacent shanty towns vividly showcase the struggles of the marginalized. The artistic piece titled "Shanty Town" pays homage to the oppressed and emphasizes ongoing inequalities that persist in society, ultimately inspiring deep reflection on the global injustices that require our urgent attention and proactive action.
