The Man Who Blew Up a Nuclear Power Station —
Editorial Illustration for the Guardian
This piece was created for a long read about Rodney Wilkinson and his 1982 attack on the Koeberg Nuclear Power Station.
I focused on the contrast between a powerful system and a single human action. The landscape suggests the presence of the apartheid regime, spreading across the scene like invisible hands, while a small figure moves through it with quiet determination. The illustration plays with scale, light, and texture to show tension between control and disruption, and the moment when one act can leave a lasting impact.
