| Signage: | The artwork portrays the transformation of a ballot box into a military tank, which then becomes a coffin. This is reminiscent of the famous speech ‘Ballot or the Bullet’ by Malcom X; the bullet symbolised war, warning that in the absence of free and fair elections, violence would inevitably break out and result in human casualties. |
