INLTS

2024 | Acrylic on Canvas, Stretched on a Wood Frame

At first glance, INLTS presents a familiar scene: a family gathered around the breakfast table on a Sunday morning. But Muhirwa's attention rests not on the children, nor on the ritual itself, but on the father — standing, serving, quietly present in a way that was reserved for this one day of the week.

The work is drawn from memory: Sundays were the only day his father fully stepped into domestic life, taking on the household so his mother could rest. The green walls, the white tablecloth, the soft morning light — all of it carries the weight of something remembered with tenderness. INLTS is a portrait of care expressed not through grand gestures, but through the simplest of acts.
