Contemplative Fantah portrays a young man leaning towards and looking out of a window. The beauty of this moment is the ambiguity of the pose: it’s hard to say if what engrosses him is something he sees outside the window or something that plays in his mind.
Mofenyi Kesego is a documentary photographer, writer of both fiction and creative nonfiction, and an aspiring filmmaker. His practice concerns itself with the capture and documentation of life as it occurs, and celebrates, with beauty and uncompromising honesty, the wonder of the world and the poetry of day-to-day life. He is a published author, with his short story, Old Timer’s Pride, featured in an anthology of short stories (My Botswana Storytelling) that speak to the experience of life in Botswana through the perspective of an adolescent. Moreover, he was nominated in 2024 for the National Geographic Young Explorers award. He has since gone on to work in film and television, taking on apprenticeships on productions of world-class television formats, and maintains ambitions of pursuing projects in that field.
