Notes on pocketing joy: a Ledebouria obsession
Continuing the emotional inquiry, Roanna turns inward to explore the quiet intimacies between humans and the natural world. A minimally rendered, solitary figure is introduced and engaged in a ritual act of tending to a Ledebouria plant, an object that has become a personal obsession and symbolic joy to the artist.
Here, care is framed not just as an outward offering but as an important act of self-preservation. Through this practice, the figure cultivates a sense of grounding amidst emotional uncertainty, which serves as a tender response to the foreboding and unrest present in Roanna’s earlier works.
