Her Eyes
Art by Buhle Hlithani
Her eyes are where Buhle begins — the place where his portraits breathe before they speak. In his work, the eyes become more than a feature; they are a landscape. A confession. A confrontation. A truth that cannot be softened or edited out.
He paints them wide, honest, unblinking — inviting us to witness the depth of women carrying memory in layers of colour and emotion. Through his strokes, their gaze becomes a dialogue: between past and present, pain and power, vulnerability and resilience.
In Her Eyes, Buhle reminds us that sometimes the soul doesn’t whisper…
it looks directly at you.
Today, as we stand in unity with Women For Change SA, this artwork becomes more than paint on paper. It becomes witness. It becomes resistance. It becomes every woman who has survived the quiet violences no one sees.
