A highly polished bronze sculpture of the same title plays a delightful hide-’n-seek with pomp and monument. Hide could also mean escaping from or covering up follies of a fractured society — in the company of comedy where chubby frogs, elephants and other animals are monuments of a 2019 Animal Farm. Those with thin or thick skins tread wearily around them.” Melvyn Minnaar, Business Day , 14 February 2019
