This heartfelt portrait by a young student from Harare beautifully reflects the deep bond between mother and daughter. Surrounded by floral imagery, the figure conveys both strength and tenderness, qualities that are universally celebrated in mothers across all societies. The handwritten words, “If I had a flower for every time I think of you, I would walk in my garden forever,” serve as both tribute and testimony to maternal love. In African societies, where family and lineage form the foundation of community, the role of the mother carries even greater weight. She is nurturer, protector, teacher, and guide. For a daughter, the mother embodies resilience and identity, shaping her path with wisdom and care. This artwork honors that timeless relationship.Try it!
