Inspiring man shares inside details of his unwavering hope
Briefly News spoke to Yandos to find out more about his story and to see where he drew his design inspo from. Turns out, he is a hardworking intern that has spent the last 11 months trying to create a living environment like the one he aspires to one day live. This is what he shared:
"I am an intern with the eThekwini Municipality, I earn just about enough to cover my transportation, rent, food and maybe clothing. I’m based in Hillcrest, Durban, a town fairly constructed to classify the higher class and the higher middle class from the lower class. Interestingly enough, the town is situated in an area surrounded by places mainly reserved for the middle to the lower class for that reason I also stay in one of these areas due to my inability to afford Hillcrest.
"I stay in a nearby rural area called kwaNyuswa, I rent a room in a four-bedroom house for R700, there we share a kitchen and a bathroom. For my room, I specifically envisioned a place where I can feel away from the reality of the area I am based at. I am not embarrassed or ashamed of where I stay, these are my people we share the same difficulties on a daily basis. But I wanted to give myself a feel of what it’s like to live in Hillcrest where some of the estates are characterised by modernised buildings and modern design furniture. That is why my room design has been motivated by modern style and a minimalist design but still maintained practicality.
"As a Master’s student, I wanted to get inside a space where I can simply forget all my surrounding environment and feel like in my dream world, where I can concentrate and feel free on both my physical and psychological senses. This is evidenced by the colour combination I have opted for when painting and furnishing, I wanted I warm and calm environment not noisy, but just relaxing and quiet. I hope from this you get my inspiration behind my place."
