Personal Interpretation

The process insist of two models to be manufactured beside the spirals. There is a Chameleon and a Proverb interpreted in a piece of jewellery. For the Chameleon we already had ideas and references from the original chameleon pieces by the Akan people. For the personal proverb we were ought to choose from our own proverbs of choice and interpret it. 

'I remember very clearly someone saying, "Don't shake hands with the cactus, and I thought, 'Well, why not? What could possibly go wrong? Shaking hands is a friendly gesture.' - Benedict Camberbatch

This quote above came into my head and I decided to go with the Zulu proverb 'Izandla ziyagezana (A person is a person because of another person), meaning we all need each other to archive greatness. I decided to make two hands shaking. 

Pictures below are of my proverb piece in wax and brass form.
