Wolov explains that this dramedy, which thoughtfully explores themes of family, grief, and identity, is not just a testament to her creativity; it stands as a beacon of hope for South African artists on the global stage.

In an industry often dominated by established names, her independent project has emerged as a compelling voice, earning a place in the hearts of audiences from different cultures and backgrounds.

Speaking with Saturday Star, Wolov recounted a standout moment in her career, remarking, “One of the standout moments in my journey so far has been the success of Ashes to Ashes. It gained meaningful recognition on the international festival circuit. Seeing it resonate with audiences across different countries affirmed the universality of the story and the work we put into it.”
