Afternoon Tea is an artwork that depicts an old woman sitting in a garden and having her daily afternoon tea session. Growing up, I was quite fascinated by my great-grandmother who always wanted to have tea every day, no matter how hot it was. It was an unusual habit to witness, but as I learnt more about South Africa’s history having once been a British colony, the culture of tea drinking seemed to make more sense. At the same time, it did not, as to drink a hot beverage while the heat of the African sun blazed during the afternoon, it was now a habit, almost a tradition my great-grandmother had. It is one of the things that made me aware that even when colonialism had parted ways with certain countries such as South Africa, there were still cultural habits that continue and are incorporated into the habits of some indigenous people. Westernisation has become a symbol of modernity, and in even the minor daily tasks some people have these influences mixed with their background and culture to form their reality.
