‘Amma's Kiss’ 2025. Oil on canvas, 80cm x 95cm.
Artist statementÂ
Amma's Kiss focuses on following the maternal thread that tethers her identity to stories and moments from her mothers' childhood. It captures a moment between mother as she welcomes her daughter into womanhood; it is the touch, kiss, that lingers and settles into the heart.
