Maluleke here honors hesitation, recognizing courage not as a blunt instrument but as a patient accumulation of steps. The mat’s quiet suspense is testament to the complexity of confronting what lies ahead.
"Xota xina Ndlela" addresses the uncertainties that haunt new beginnings. Its surface wavers between disclosure and concealment; forms emerge shyly, then retreat, embodying anxiety and caution at the edge of the unknown.
