Signage: | These figure studies by Feni, showing tenderness and fragility, can be said to embody the humanity of South Africans during conflict; they appear pained yet hopeful of a release from dire circumstances. The two women and a man, kneeling in prayer in a room, demonstrates Feni’s sketching process and interest in spirituality and religion. |
