Rooted against a camouflage-like backdrop, FAMILY OF TREES poses a central question—does the mother reclaim her baby from the reaching foreign hand, or is she giving it away? This work challenges the viewer to reflect on the widespread practice of African children being taken from their homeland under the premise of a “better” life elsewhere. Through striking symbolism, the painting asks: do we reclaim our future, or do we surrender it to the hands of those deemed more fortunate?
