The inspiration for this sculpture came from a visit I made to a beach in Hermanus. After sitting on the beach for a while I noticed a young woman standing on the rocks nearby; she was gazing out to sea, deep in thought and meditation.

In 2017, tragedy struck Knysna; a popular South African coastal town, rich with wildlife and dense forest. A beautiful home was destroyed by a wild fire that also consumed many other properties. The house was owned by a devout collector of Willie Botha Sculptures. Ramona was the only standing object other than the framework of the home. A strong woman that was depicted in the art piece stood unmoved within the roaring fire which was destroying the world around her. Despite the catastrophic circumstances; she remained. Not only did Willie Botha’s underlying depiction of Ramona come through; but could it also be assumed that Ramona herself came to tell us her true emotions?

This sculpture is part of a limited edition of twenty five in bronze.
