Here, a mother breastfeeds her child while the infant clutches a piece of maize, symbolizing nourishment of both spirit and body. Zenda’s palette of violets, reds, and deep blues conveys tenderness and stoic strength. The mother’s gaze is steady, unflinching, embodying the endurance of women as pillars of African society. The background text subtly references seeds, reinforcing the themes of fertility, growth, and continuity. This intimate scene transcends the private act of feeding; it is a declaration of motherhood as both sacred and essential, connecting past and future through unconditional care.Try it!
