“God will smite this world with the hands of a child” is the best way of capturing the duality of this project. There’s a historical richness to the references that is contrasted by some of the playful details of the piece - a reminder that “every angel is terrifying”. It’s a tough blow delivered by soft hands.

This artwork, inspired by HOUSE OF PIOUS, explores the dual realities South Africans face. It depicts a Black elderly man sitting on a “Whites Only” bench, symbolizing a reclamation of spaces once defined by exclusion.

The suitcase and crumpled paper beneath him represent the weight of the past—the struggles, pain, and resilience carried through generations. His fragmented face reflects a complex identity shaped by both hardship and perseverance.

This piece invites viewers to reflect on South Africa's history and the ongoing journey toward healing and equality.
