A Black man runs on a dusty township road, with two approaching Casspirs in pursuit. His orange jumpsuit suggests that he might've escaped capture. He balances on his head a stone, like those often thrown at police. His posture conveys pride, although being weighed down, signifying a sense of resilience in the face of hardship.
