"Umfazi weva" : Ifoto Johel I-Pereira iphonononga intsingiselo yenkcubeko eyiyo itanki yesikhokelo

Amagama nguJoli Dubose-Morris

Imifanekiso ye-Intersindis yomculi

Igama kunye nebinzana, umfazi, Ukuba utshilo ngokwakho, ibeka amandla amabi egameni legama ngokwalo liphuma kwiziphumo zalo zembali yobundlobongela basekhaya. Ngokuchaseneyo, nangona kunjalo, Xa ixesha libekwe kwi-inversi yephakheji ye-glossy bloby pakhed kunye nendoda kwitanki emhlophe eMhlophe ephezulu, Ngequbuliso eli gama liba yindawo elula eqingqiweyo kwinkcazo echaza inqaku lempahla kulo naliphi na elinye igama ngokwayo yinto nje yokuba sizifumene ngenxa yokusetyenziswa kwawo kwiintsuku zemihla ngemihla. Nokuba singazama kangakanani ukuwukhulula i-AIDBEATAERS ukuba singathethi nto ngaphandle kwento ethengiweyo kwiVenkile yeSebe lula, ukuyichaza ngokuthi, kufuneka siyiqwalasele ngokunyaniseka.

Le tanki ithile ihambile kwizizukulwana, ukuzifumana kwiincoko njengeyona nto ibalulekileyo, kwaye, Kuya kufuneka sijongane negama ngokwalo ngokwalo. Uninzi, Igama elithi umfazi yinto ebingaphezulu. UJolhel Pereira, Umculi obonakalayo waseIndiya kunye nomfoto kwiMiami, ukhetha ukuphinda uqalise kwakhona le tanki kwiprojekthi yakhe, "Umfazi?" I-Pereira isebenzisa ingqokelela yeefoto kunye nezifundo zokuphatha ibinzana kunye nononophelo olufanelekileyo.

Ngaphakathi, "Umfazi?" I-Pereira yenza umsebenzi wokumisela incoko phakathi koluntu ukuze ekugqibeleni siyibone itanki ephezulu ngaphandle kwegama eliphambili kwikota. Sonke singayiqonda ingubo; I-Pereira ithatha inyathelo lokuyibona ngexabiso lakhe kunye notshintsho ngaphandle kwesisindo esibi siyigcina kwi-crutch. Njengomntu ovuthayo wase-Asia, Uphononongo lwe-Pereira kule gama kunye nokudityaniswa kwayo kwingubo eyahlukileyo. "I-lens yam yenkcubeko eyahlukileyo njengomculi wase-Asia ow ukujonga inkcubeko yamagqirha i-Americcun ye-Americkion ibaluleke kakhulu kwinyani yale projekthi. Ukusondela kuyo njengomntu ngaphandle, Ndifuna ukuzoba ukufana phakathi kweendlela ezahlukeneyo zengcinezelo ezibonakala kwimibutho eyahlukeneyo - ngengubo, ulwimi, kunye nemilinganiselo yoluntu, I-Akin yokufunyazelwa kwe 'umfazi'." I-Pereira States.

Ukubaluleka kwale projekthi kwakungeyonto yokuzinikezela kukaPereira ukuze uyiphinde iphinde, Kodwa ngemizamo yokubambisana abo bamngqongileyo kwakufuneka bambathise igama. I-Pereira yatsho, "Ngeli xesha lokuhlola, Ndamema abahlobo bam ukuba bathumele ilebhile yengubo, kwaye banikezela kwezinye iindlela zokuyila kunye nokuzonwabisa, njenge "Umthandi wenkosikazi" kwaye "Iqabane nceda." Ngelixa andibanga ukuba ndisombulule ngesandla, Ndiyakholelwa ukuba ngokukhulisa ulwazi kunye nokukhuthaza incoko yababini, Singaququzelela ukuqalisa ukutshintsha okuhle. Ngemfundo kunye nengxoxo evulekileyo, Singazama ukugculela i-stereotypes eyingozi kwaye siyenze indawo ebandakanyayo nembeko, ukuqala ngolwimi esilusebenzisayo."

I-Pereira ibonisa ukuba ngaphandle kwetanki yetanki, Njengombutho sinokutshintsha ukukhanya ukuba inqaku lempahla yokunxiba ihlanjelwe. Singangqina ukuba le tanki i-tank ephezulu-i-ofisi yokubonelela kunye nephulo-lihlolwe eluthandweni nasekuthatheni ithemba kwaye ijonge ukumela igama lomntu kunye nengubo. "Sinamandla okubuyisa le nto yokunxiba kwaye siphinde sibe nengxelo yayo," I-Pereira i-profurms.

Ngelixa "Umfazi?" Iprojekthi inokuza kufutshane, Iifoto zeemodeli ziyibona kakuhle ngetanki yabo kwitanki ngefilitha yefilimu yefilimu, I-Pereira ibambe ngaphezulu kweempazamo ezimbalwa eziphakathi. Endaweni yoko, I-Pereira ithathe incoko ilinde ixesha elide - uchaze i-incoko yababini igxothise izizukulwana, Ukunyanzelisa ukuba siphendule ngokutshintsha kunye nokuphindaphinda malunga nokuphindaphinda ngeli nqaku leempahla esizazi sonke esigcina kwiidreyithi zethu. Olo tshintsho alunakuza kwangoko njengefoto yakhe, Kodwa isenokuba yinto esiyibonayo kwiminyaka ezayo xa abo babehamba ngeephakheji eziblowu ezinamadoda kwi-Tok itanki ye-Tank eyaziwa ngokuba "Umvuni-" ngaphandle kwe, Ulungile.
