>>127076I think it was a way to talk to Maya. Other than that she must have really enjoyed that guy's painting, but Maya has better tastes in art.

>>127076The painter she had mentioned was from South Africa so no wonder she brings him up at the first occasion. She is just patriotic and it is clear she deeply loves her homeland. But the homeland is not safe for her anymore. Her hyperfixation on local South African stuff only echoes her yearning after her parents, people, land. She plays her country's national sport, she speaks with her native accent and uses her language's grammar (double negative), and that she does it all must have had a reason. A very sentimental one.
