The Mapmaker of Sleepless Cities
There are cartographers of oceans and of stars, but I have chosen a different trade. I am a mapmaker of the territories we carry within us — the sprawling, sleepless cities of the mind. I chart the highways of thought, the quiet suburbs of nostalgia, and the bustling downtown districts of our anxieties. For years, I believed these lands were invisible, impossible to document. Then, I began to paint them. What you see here are not mere pictures; they are recovered maps of a world we all inhabit but rarely dare to explore. Let us take a journey together.

The Story of Jack Sugerberg In the world of hip-hop and entrepreneurial hustle, where public perception and brand are meticulously crafted, Zipho Memela's career has been a masterclass in innovation.

But now, Memela has revealed the truth: Jack Sugerberg is not a person at all, but a figment of his artistic imagination. This revelation reframes their entire history, transforming a story of collaboration into a profound exploration of identity, vulnerability, and the intricate relationship between an artist and their inner world.
