This painting, "Mudzimai weMusha," symbolizes the pivotal role of a woman in the home. Constructed from everyday objects, the face tells a story of identity shaped by personal and communal experiences. The eyes, formed from images of people, and the mouth, depicting labor, highlight the intertwined struggles and strengths that define her place in the community.
Embedded within this artwork is the essence of the African gendered philosophy, musha mukadzi (Shona) or umuzi ngumama (Ndebele), which signifies that women are the cornerstone of the home.
