Mandela's Motivation  |  The Struggle Series

​​These sketches are not so much about my life as they are about my own country.

I drew hands because they ar.e powerful instruments

​

STRUGGLE           

Hands can hurt or heal, punish or uplift.

​

IMPRISONMENT 

 They can also be bound, but a quest for righteousness can never be repressed

​ 

FREEDOM           

 In time, we broke open the shackles of injustice.

​

UNITY                    

We joined hands across social divides and national boundaries, between continents and over oceans.

​

FUTURE                

And now we look to the future, knowing that even if age makes us wiser guides, it is the youth that reminds us of love, of trust, and the value of life.
