A Universe by Ruzza Wazzi
The works.
Three encounters with a self in the making.
01 / The city
Earlier visual world / Developed from 2016
Made in Johannesburg
The city as a place of reinvention. Skateboarding, costume and movement inhabit an abandoned Johannesburg building.
The visual album introduces figures and questions that continue through AFRO SUPERHERO.

The World I Gave
A record about the end of a relationship, and the pressure of a life love alone cannot sustain.
The encounter turns inward. Original music opens another way into the universe.

Purpose of Art
How is identity constructed, performed and controlled?
Film and music operate in parallel. Two perspectives on the same psychological terrain.
