This expansive, rich landscape – one that the artist has visited on many occasions – is the inspiration for this artwork. In times gone by, Cape Point was known by its notorious alias as the ‘Cape of Storms’ because of treacherous waters that have caused numerous shipwrecks. This heritage is represented by the lighthouse, a popular tourist attraction and iconic landmark. Wes has also included hikers on a trail, reflecting a popular activity at Cape Point.
