Through our contacts with Solid Groud (a non-profit organization that offers training and further education opportunities to young South Africans - www.solidground.training) once again we were able to secure Hadassa to continue our "Coffee Mug" series:
"I have always considered the lion to be one of the most powerful and majestic creatures in the world, and I wanted to express that in my own way with this design. For me personally, and for much of Africa, the lion represents strength and resilience. A lion is powerfully created and built – from its muscular physique to its formidable jaw. Likewise, Africa is rich and full of potential, a strength that mirrors that of the lion. Like the lion, Africa is resilient: it grows, learns, and shows the world its strength despite its weaknesses and its history."
