| Signage: | Staged in a cell of the Old Fort prison, this image explores white South Africans’ struggle to confront a violent past. Sleep becomes a metaphor for ignorance—an escape into forgetting. Yet awakening is inevitable. Undressed, the figure suggests shame, vulnerability, and a possible reckoning. |
