Following slavery
and colonialism, a new scourge, HIV, is afflicting millions throughout the
continent. In the second of his works, the imprints of the hands of
children affected by HIV surround Nelson Mandela's and the image has a
haunting sadness as it reflects Africa's new and truly tragic dilemma. |

 NM3. The Struggle series ' These sketches
are not so much about my life as they are about my own country. I drew
hands as they are powerful instruments, hands can hurt or heal, punish or
uplift. They can also be bowed but a quest for righteousness can never be
replaced in time, we broke loose the shackles of injustice and we
joint hands across social divides and national boundaries, between
continents and over oceans and now we look to the future, knowing that
even if age makes us wiser guards, it is the youth that reminds us of
love, of trust, and the value of life.' Medium :
Lithograph, 2001 |
