Please Be My Witness, 2013
Please Be My Witness "There is an estimated 247, 000 children working in exploitive labour in South Africa, including an estimated 30, 000 child prostitutes. Global human trafficking generates US$ 7 - 10 billion annually.' Source: Unesco. Policy Paper No. 14.5 (E) Human Trafficking in South Africa: Root Causes and Recommendations. Child trafficking in South Africa is a disease. Like a disease, it is silent and goes by unnoticed. My sculptures, placed throughout Cape Town in public spaces, are designed to slowly and quietly disappear from sight.
