In From Seeds to Strength, Keith Zenda captures the resilience and grace of everyday Zimbabwean life. A mother strides forward with purpose, a bucket balanced on her head and her child securely tied to her back—a universal symbol of endurance and nurture. Painted over a background of text about “sowing seeds,” the image becomes both literal and symbolic: the woman herself is a sower of life, perseverance, and hope. Her vibrant clothes and confident step contrast the muted text beneath, emphasizing how daily acts of labor and love cultivate the unseen gardens of a community’s future.Try it!
