Shango lia swa(A nation on fire)

South Africa is plagued by many social and economic challenges and the COVID 19 pandemic only served as to make things even worse. The country is on fire , “Shango lia swa” is a sculpture that represent the decay that sees woman in chains and the missing teeth highlights the poor security system in a country that is meant to protect them. The sculpture consists of one big giant head with a fake smile. And the face is indicative of the current situation in South Africa.
