"The Dawn of Happiness: A Moment Worth Cherishing" captures a more playful, spontaneous side of life among the Himba. The painting features a young child beaming with a radiant, contagious smile. Mujuru's focus on the child’s joy reminds us that happiness often stems from the simplest of moments—a shared laugh, the warmth of the sun, or the freedom of a carefree existence. The child’s unrestrained expression of joy suggests a deeper, universal truth: that despite life's hardships, moments of happiness can be found in the present if we allow ourselves to embrace them. The painting exudes warmth, not only through the golden tones that illuminate the child’s face but also through the emotional depth it evokes. Mujuru seems to be telling us that, just like the dawn of a new day, happiness can emerge unexpectedly, and its beauty is in its fleeting, yet profound, nature. "Live in the moment," this piece whispers, "for today is a gift, and happiness is within reach.
