glass surface slips behind the skirts of the golden façade as it rises and falls . These two representations – their designs informed by traditional South African craft and artistic techniques such as beading and basketry – meld into a symbolic depiction of South Africa ’ s urban and rural landscapes intercepting each other , ultimately forming a unified symbolic representation of the whole country . All South Africans find themselves and their love of the land represented in this giant artwork , symbolising their connection and their right to the land , and signifying the department ’ s embrace of all the country ’ s people and landscapes .
