Notes

Proceeds from the sale of this work to benefit the Children's Hospital Trust to be used to advance child healthcare through the Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital.

Commissioned specifically to raise funds for the Burns Unit of the Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital, this pair by twins, Hasan and Husain Essop, was purchased by Linda Givon in 2009 at a charity auction for the hospital. Givon donated these photographs to the Children’s Hospital Trust to be displayed in the hospital. These works are being reoffered to raise much needed funds.

Husan and Husain Essop graduated from UCT’s Michaelis School of Fine Art in 2007 and majored in photography and printmaking. They were recipients of the Standard Bank Young Artist Award in 2014. Speaking on their mode of working together the brothers comment: “As twin brothers, we have set out to find ourselves in each other, the similarities become interesting and exciting. Trying to create something new each time, a story unfolds and never ends”.
