With this post-apocalyptic fable, the creator takes us into a future of rust and life. The robotic figures seem to carefully guard these small sources of life. By uniting these rusty, damaged robots with plants, the artist offers a message of hope.

Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, whose tribal clan name is “Madiba,” was born on July 18, 1918, in Mvezo (Cape Province) and passed away on December 5, 2013, in Johannesburg (Gauteng). He was a South African statesman and one of the historic leaders of the struggle against the institutionalized racial segregation system (apartheid). He later became President of the Republic of South Africa from 1994 to 1999, following the country’s first non-segregationist national elections.
