I mentioned in my previous post that the sculpture of the young girl represents a young South African democracy. According to the artist, this dragonfly sculpture (located only a little way away from the other one) represents in concept our country's dream of freedom, equality and hope.
I'm so glad that this dragonfly, with all that it represents, is so large. My cats regularly hunt dragonflies, so I'd hate one day for them to come home with our freedom, equality and hope trapped between their cruel little jaws! :D
