The innermost panels depict the resurrection using life-size photographs by Tanya Jordaan of three grandmothers and their grandchildren framed in ornate beadwork. This section of the altar represents the wisdom of the old and the hope for the new generation. This beadwork was planned and made by Ardwork Jange from the Cape Town organization known as Streetwise, along with local Ntilini women. Each layer of the altar is dense with embroidery, appliqué, and beadwork, with the last layer a combination of sculptural wire beadwork and photographs. To make the altar, the women learned new embroidery techniques, particularly stump-work.
