Giving the sculpture a name creates a certain intimacy. When Fanie sits between two people he becomes part of the discussion as his arms support you. One can rest here, converse and may experience a feeling of acceptance and camaraderie.


Deur die bankie ‘n naam te gee kry dit ‘n sekere intimiteit. Wanneer Fanie tussen twee mense sit, word hy deel van die geselskap terwyl sy arms jou ondersteun. ‘n Mens kan hier rus, kuier en ‘n gevoel van aanvaarding en kameraadskaplikheid ervaar.


Ukunika ubumbo igama kuyila ubuqabane nothando oluthile. Xa athe uFanie wahlala phakathi kwabantu ababini uba yinxalenye yengxoxo njengoko iingalo zakhe zikuxhasile. Umntu angaphumla apha, ancokole yaye angaziva amkelekile yaye elikholwane.
