| Signage: | Custom-designed carpet commissioned for the Administration Foyer on Level A of the Constitutional Court, developed by Siphiwe Zulu in collaboration with The Weaver’s Hut. Produced as a large-scale, hand-tufted textile, the work translates the artist’s visual language into a functional yet expressive spatial intervention within a key communal space of the Court’s private administrative spaces. Through its evocation of human presence in abstract form, the work gestures toward collective identity and shared experience, aligning with broader constitutional values of unity, dignity, and inclusion. As both artwork and functional design element, the carpet contributes to the spatial and symbolic language of the Court’s administrative environment. |
