A scene capturing Johannesburg’s Nelson Mandela Bridge, this work reflects the in-betweenness of urban flow, caught between pedestrian movement and vehicular passage, stillness and acceleration. The bridge becomes not only a structure but a metaphor for navigating thresholds, both physical and psychological. This painting captures the striking geometry and atmospheric depth of Johannesburg’s iconic Nelson Mandela Bridge, rendered with photorealistic precision. The composition places the viewer directly within the lane of urban transition, cars moving forward, pedestrians walking along the edge, and the looming city skyline unfolding in the distance. Jozi–06 is both a tribute to contemporary city life and an exploration of spatial rhythm, movement, and human presence in the built environment. The work subtly reflects the layered rhythm of city life, caught between pause and propulsion, where memories reside in motion and identity is sculpted by routine routes.
