Tribal Series 2

A monumental, half-closed visage in velvety indigo presides over a circular cosmos, its calm opacity turning the portrait into a horizon where memory and myth quietly converge. Ochres and golds—echoing a braided crown and beaded ornaments—thread through the surface like relics, binding the humble procession of cattle, goats, and riders to something sacred and enduring. The baobab silhouettes and flattened, folk-like patterning compress time and distance, suggesting a pastoral world not merely observed but inwardly held, as if the land’s devotion is carried behind the eyelids. In this tender tension between stillness and movement, the work becomes a meditation on guardianship—where human, animal, and terrain form a single, breathing lineage.
