“The use of different shades of green to create the portrait of a mother, suggest the growth and renewal while the African skin tone of the baby symbolizes the hope and promise of a new beginning. The vibrant red background evokes a sense of warmth and love while also representing the challenges and the struggles that we are facing as individuals and as a community.
The mother gently embraces the child and communicates the sense of protection and safety reminding us of the importance of supporting and uplifting one another .”
