Her Legacy – Sold
She is our legacy — the future she holds within her gaze,
our freedom resting gently in her hands.
A piece that honours resilience, remembrance, and the power of women to carry our story forward.

Her gaze holds tomorrow; her hands cradle hard-won freedom.

This 500 x 700mm acrylic piece features the Strength Necklace, crafted from fragments of the original Robben Island fence — a symbol of resilience woven into her story.

Honoured it has such a feature place in its home. 🙏
