Once upon a time there was a little girl...

At first glance, 'Double-By' with her red cape reminds of the innocent character of Little Red Riding Hood. However, Wolf’s tail and legs protruding from the cape, uncomfortably hints at a split in the identity of this character. The fusing of the two characters is a way of addressing the blurred boundary between the victim- and perpetrator-self.

Did you know?
The dolos design is based on the "dubbeltjie" or devil's thorn, it was created by South African draughtsman and inventor Aubrey Kruger.
The name was birthed in a precious moment between Aubrey Kruger and his father, Joseph Kruger. After seeing his son and others playing with small models in the office, he asked
"Wat speel julle met die dolos?"
Dolos is the Afrikaans word for knucklebones which are often used by sangomas when listening to their ancestors.
