Wim Botha's artwork "commune: onomatopoeia" is part of a trilogy that explores icons and Afrikanerdom. The installation is described as intricate and is part of Botha's broader artistic approach, where he blends official symbols to create visually captivating sculptures. Botha's work often involves carving subjects from texts, merging content with form, and transforming materials to craft installations rich in references. The trilogy also includes the works "commune: suspension of disbelief," which uses unconventional materials like bibles, and "commune: fusion/fission/dissipation," continuing the exploration of themes related to Afrikanerdom and iconography. Botha's art often contains elements of humor and irony, and his deliberate approach challenges norms and conventional artistic practices[[3](https://artthrob.co.za/03apr/artbio.html)].
