In In the Centre, Florah Maphosa celebrates the quiet power and inner radiance of the African woman. Seen from behind, the figure becomes a living garden—her back adorned with blooming flowers, bees, and butterflies, each symbolising growth, resilience, and transformation. The rich yellow and orange background glows like sunlight, placing the woman at the heart of her own universe. Florah blends softness with strength, showing that beauty is not only worn on the body, but also carried from within. This work reflects a woman rooted in nature, confident in her identity, and flourishing at the centre of her world.Try it!
