Notes

Joost Pyke created this sculpture inspired by the Afikaans folk song "Sarie Marais," appreciating its message of freedom. His artwork symbolizes a connection to the earth, utilizing a unique Netherlands text sculpture technique rarely seen in South Africa. This song, beyond its folk origins serves as a protest against imperialism, bridging cultural divides across South Africa.
