Dung beetles miskruiers
These brown textile dung beetles with a textile ball of dung are inspired by Lizel Von Wielligh's direct environment, where one can see them often. South African artists often use dung beetles, who are considered to be hard-working, as a theme. In various parts of Africa, dung beetles are seen as symbols of the sun's cycle, the power of creation and resilience.
