Die Braak: Today it is covered with a layer of lush green grass on which the modern day flow of life prevails. With this sculptural intervention I have cut an opening into the ‘present’ landscape, by pushing it back and holding it in place with a giant pin to reveal (ontsluiten) the layers of history underneath that have shaped the Braak and Stellenbosch since 1685. Over the centuries Die Braak was used for social, military and sporting events. At various times it was also known as Queen Square, Adderley Square and Kings Square.

Die Braak: Vandag is dit bedek met ʼn laag welige groen gras waarop die moderne lewensvloei oorheers. Met hierdie beeldhouersintervensie het ek ʼn opening gesny in die ‘huidige’ landskap deur dit terug te druk en met ʼn reusespeld in posisie te hou om die lae van die geskiedenis daaronder, wat die Braak en Stellenbosch sedert 1685 gevorm het, bloot te lê. Oor die eeue heen is Die Braak gebruik vir sosiale, militêre en sportgeleenthede. Op verskillende tye was dit ook bekend as Koninginplein (Queen Square), Adderley Square en Koningsplein (Kings Square).

Die Braak: Unamhlanje wombathiswe ngengca entle eluhlaza apho kukho ubomi beli xesha lempucuko nokhanyo. Ngolu ngenelelo lokuqingqa imifanekiso ndivule inyoba kwixesha ‘langoku’, ngokuyinyanzelisa ndiyibeke kwiqonga leendwalutho eliphezulu ukutyhila amanqanaba ezembali (ontsluiten) afihlakeleyo namisele iDie Braak neStellenbosch ukusukela ngo1685. Ngaphezulu kweenkulungwane iDie Braak yayisetyenziselwa imicimbi yokuzonwabisa koluntu, eyomkhosi kunye nemicimbi yemidlalo. Amaxesha amaninzi yayisakwaziwa njengeQueen Square, i-Adderley Square nanjengeKings Square.
