In Echoes of Belonging, Flatter Zenda explores the layered meaning of identity, memory, and cultural connection. The painting combines vivid patterns reminiscent of African textiles with abstract forms that flow across the canvas like interwoven threads of history. Bright yellows, purples, and greens create a vibrant contrast, suggesting both harmony and tension within the human story. A map of Africa emerges as a central motif, anchoring the work in heritage while inviting reflection on migration, displacement, and the search for home. The textured surfaces and rhythmic lines evoke echoes of voices across generations—stories of ancestry, belonging, and resilience that transcend borders. Zenda’s work becomes not only a celebration of African identity but also a meditation on how we carry the past within us while shaping new spaces of belonging in the present.Try it!
