| Signage: | The baobab tree is a symbol of resilience, life, and the communion between nature and culture. The majestic giants have stood witness to centuries of African history. The artwork bears a semblance to San rock art, connecting the ancient to the present, and it speaks to the core principle of the Constitutional Court – justice under a tree. |
