"In this piece I portray my subject as Lady Justice. She wears a mask (representing impartiality) and she holds the scales of justice (representing fairness), as she grapples with the issue of GBV in our country which has been described by our President as having reached pandemic proportions. The matter is still sub judice as although we have made much progress (especially with the most recent Codes of Good Practice which have been published in the Government Gazette for comment) we still live in a very patriarchal society and have a long way to go."
