"I dream and see pictures and get up and make the pictures in the sand." -Vuyisile Funda. Vuyisile Funda lives in the village of Hamburg in the Eastern Cape region of South Africa. He has been a watchman for most of his life, but a beating left him unable to work. He now lives off a disability grant. Vuyisile calls himself “Gaba”, which in Xhosa means “the prophet”. Gaba believes he receives visitations from God in the early mornings. God instructs him not to hurt anyone, and sometimes tells him to go to the dunes along the edge of the sea and run patterns in the sand until his problems are resolved. So, in the early hours of morning he runs intricate patterns over the sand dunes in the area; the patterns are seldom seen by anyone as they fade soon after dawn. Gaba says that this pattern-making is unconscious, guided by God and that he runs on the dunes as a prayer for the world and to draw attention to the beauty of the natural world. Often, he runs in a red skirt to show his solidarity with women.
