Choices

2025 | Oil on Canvas, Stretched on Wood Frame

What if a man could define peace through providing for and protecting those he loves? Traditionally, men were sent to defend the kingdom and land as their way of life. However, over time, options changed, and a man could choose to protect through provision and ensuring his household's wealth.

This expressionist Rwandan painting depicts a man faced with two choices, deciding which to place on his staff.
