Alienated interrogates the surreal paradox of belonging within conditions of rupture and displacement. In this body of work, Ramaila reflects on the dystopian terrain that young people are compelled to navigate in a post-COVID South Africa, particularly within the socio-political and economic landscape of Johannesburg. The series comprises vibrant mixed media works that merge digital photography and digital drawing. Through an intensive process of layering, collage, and stitching, he materially and conceptually binds two fractured realities, constructing a hybrid visual language that speaks to fragmentation, resilience, and the pursuit of reimagined identity.
