| Signage: | The artist emphasises the responsibility of parliament - represented by two classical pillars - to introduce new laws enabling equitable access to land. Papers or bills are touching every part of the image, even the cattle in the foreground, symbolising the land. The simple house on the left, pierced by the parliamentary pillar, refers to forced removals initiated by the apartheid government. |
