Amidst the signage, textiles, and daily bustle of the heart of downtown Johannesburg, a moment of stillness emerges—two women immersed in the quiet ritual of hair-braiding beneath a tropical mural. Captured from my car window, the composition reveres the everyday poetry of street life: the palm tree mural, the layered signage, and the serene grace of routine care. Braiding Time invites the viewer to pause, noticing the beauty that rests within the noise—a poetic contrast to the urban intensity just beyond the frame.
