In Amampondomise, Tony Gum reimagines the Xhosa woman as both subject and symbol of resilience. Sculpted from her own likeness, the bust merges classical form with African identity, its rock-like surface evoking strength and permanence. The dislodged arm becomes a poignant metaphor for women’s undervalued labour and enduring contribution to society. Through this work, Gum bridges ancestral heritage with contemporary discourse, celebrating the matriarchal power that continues to shape and sustain African life.
