Mandela Impressions of Africa

As a pair to the iconic and poignant ‘Hand of Africa’, in this piece, ‘Impressions of Africa’, the imprints of the hands of children affected by HIV surround that of Nelson Mandela’s left hand. This significant work signals one of Mr Mandela’s most favoured topics, children and the future. The black and white of this piece is reminiscent of the colour divide faced by Nelson Mandela under the apartheid regime. This work serves as a reminder to all of us about the importance of looking after the next generations.
