* SILENT AUCTION ITEM *

This evocative portrait of Nelson Mandela, painted by CDS parent Fasil Fikerab, shows the iconic figure gazing directly at the viewer, lips slightly parted as if to tell us something of importance. Cutting across the canvas are strong grid lines that could be interpreted as either the bars of a jail cell or the window panes of a presidential mansion, bringing together the full scope of Mandela's inspirational story.
