The oxen consist of more than a thousand individually collected, sorted, shaped and welded steel and iron components. They embody the strength and optimism required to boldly journey up and over the mountains of tomorrow \u2013 united as team,\u201d Westraad said.  The artwork in part also pays homage to oxen and the wagon and their contribution to the history of transportation.  The central business district, which incorporates the Route 67 Arts Journey, is becoming one of the largest and most diverse installation areas of public art in the country.  Westraad played a pivotal role in the creation of the 7m-highUjiva (Xhosa for \u201cdance\u201d) sculpture on the Walker Drive traffic circle near Baywest City Mall.
