| Signage: | The Heads, a painting by Siphiwe Zulu, served as the inspiration for this carpet, meant to be on display at the Welsh Library of the Constitutional Court. Individual human figures from the original work are reinterpreted as part of the carpet’s design, translating painted imagery into vibrant textile form. Together with other works in the The Heads series, the carpet forms part of a collective reflection on human diversity and unity. |
