Long Walk — Mandela Series III

A ghost print: the figure appears only as a fine embossed outline, its raised fist rising into the red band while the gray and green fields show through. Quiet, airy and reflective. It's the subtlest piece in the series and pairs beautifully with its bolder siblings.

The story

Nelson Mandela (1918–2013) spent 27 years in prison for his fight against apartheid. When he walked free on February 11, 1990, he raised his fist to the waiting crowd. Four years later he became South Africa's first Black president. The title nods to his autobiography, Long Walk to Freedom. The red, black and green bands are the colors of the Pan-African flag.
