Gentle Bonds is a deeply intimate and emotional work by Samuel Sifani, a young Zimbabwean painter living with albinism and mentored by Keith Zenda. Through this tender scene, Sifani reveals his own experiences of love, vulnerability, and belonging. Two dark-skinned parents place soft kisses on their newborn child with albinism, symbolising unconditional acceptance in a world where difference is often misunderstood. The gentle touch, the closed eyes, and the delicate textures express a powerful longing for safety and connection. Sifani paints not only from observation but from lived truth—transforming the canvas into a statement about identity, protection, and the quiet strength of family love. Gentle Bonds stands as both a personal testimony and a broader reminder that every child deserves to be embraced exactly as they are.Try it!
