Despite its not having large dimensions, Sunday Best can be interpreted as a monument, or perhaps an anti-monument.

Gunn-Salie recreates an artwork originally produced by the writer Susan Lewis, alluding to the excursions that were curtailed abruptly when an Apartheid decree removed the black population from District Six, formerly known for its cohesive multicultural community.
