Roots: Mother and Child

Roots: Mother and Child is inspired by memories of childhood in Ivory Coast, reflected through vibrant color and form. The composition centers on the quiet strength of the maternal figure, carrying both presence and history. Through bold patterns and warm tones, the work evokes a sense of belonging, heritage, and continuity—where identity is shaped by the places and relationships that ground us. More than a portrait, the piece captures the enduring bond between mother and child, expressed not through detail, but through color, rhythm, and emotion.
