It is a depiction of sides that people don’t readily show, sides of vulnerability, insecurity and tiny amounts of hope. One could say it is the result of shedding light into a world of secrecy, escapism, an alternate reality belonging to an alternate version of an individual. When No One Is Watching is the truth in its purest form. Meet the Author Linathi Makanda is a South African photographer and storyteller. She is the author of the poetry and prose collection When No-One Is Watching. Born and raised in Mthatha, a small town in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa, her hopes are to open the doors of opportunity for herself and many other women to occupy creative spaces where the definition of art as well as the capabilities of women in the context, stretch far beyond what is already known.
