’Mother Nature’ is the closest I have ever come to painting the women who raised me, even those I met whilst living in different countries of East Africa. This piece carries the memory of their strength, their softness and the way they held entire communities together without ever asking for recognition. The towering head-wrap is not just an adornment; it is a crown. It’s sculptural weight symbolises the wisdom, resilience, and unshakeable grace of mothers across the continent. Through her dignified stillness, I invite viewers to recognise the quiet, immovable power of women who hold everyone in balance.
