Chiedza - Light
Description
Chiedza—meaning light—depicts a woman who embodies inner illumination and self-defined power. Rendered in radiant blue, the figure transcends conventional realism, symbolising individuality, clarity, and spiritual strength. Her shaved head signifies release from expectation and ornament, revealing presence and authenticity rather than performance.
The luminous yellow halo surrounding her head reads as an aura rather than a religious symbol—an expression of awareness, optimism, and inner energy that quietly radiates outward. It is light that is carried, not bestowed.
The red “LIFESTYLE CENTER” earrings function as contemporary talismans, grounding the figure in modern identity, chosen values, and intentional living. Their triple-circle form subtly suggests balance and continuity between mind, body, and spirit. Through bold colour and symbolism, Florah Maphosa presents a portrait of modern African femininity that is calm, sovereign, and unapologetically radiant.Try it!
