Reflections
This is a bust of a proud Xhosa man named Richmond, who has made a new life for himself and his family in Stellenbosch. In a town where the white and coloured communities have so much history and a sense of place, this sculpture reflects the dignified face of someone who feels he is on the outside looking in; waiting to feel truly at home.
Hierdie is ‘n borsbeeld van ‘n trotse Xhosa-man, Richmond. Oorspronklik van die Oos-Kaap, het hy en sy gesin hulle in Stellenbosch gevestig om ‘n nuwe lewe te begin. In ‘n dorp waar die wit- en bruinmense ‘n geskiedenis het en bewus is van hulle plek, weerspieël hierdie beeld die waardige gesig van iemand wat hom ‘n buitestaander voel en wag om werklik tuis te kan voel.
Lo ngumfanekiso obonisa intloko,ubuso namagxa wendoda yoMxhosa ezithanda kakhulu enguRichmond. Imvelaphi yakhe iseMpuma Koloni kwaye uzakhele ubomi obutsha eStellenbosch, uhlala nosapho lwakhe. Lo mfanekiso ubonisa ubuso bomntu onesidima nodilisekileyo eme ngaphandle kwedolophu, nangona ejonge ngaphakathi kwidolophu enabantu abaMhlophe nabantu beBala abanembali enkulu yokuziva besekhaya kule ndawo; elindele ukuziva esekhaya ngokwenene.
