Polasi is an evolving collection of digitized drawings that offer a relaxed exploration of present-day Botswana. For the artist, this series serves as a reintroduction to the social climate of Gaborone after a significant period away.

Drawing inspiration from the rich tapestry of Botswana's oral folklore traditions, Polasi fosters social reconnection. The artworks capture experiences that, while unfolding in real-time, evoke a sense of existing within a legend, folktale, or cautionary tale. The artist skillfully blends the characteristic anthropomorphic figures of traditional storytelling with contemporary commentary and current events. Through the unique lens, Polasi illuminates the artist's observations about the dynamics that shape contemporary Botswana.
