"Imbuto y'Umunyenga"(The Fruit of Joy)

2024 | Oil on Canvas, Stretched on Wooden Frame

"Imbuto y'Umunyenga" captures the carefree spirit of summer on Lake Bugesera, where a child sits peacefully on a small boat, surrounded by the lively energy of family. Each summer, children gather at the lake to swim, fish, and celebrate the simple joys of life. The scene reflects the bond between nature and family, with the child symbolizing innocence and the joy that comes from shared moments in the heart of Rwanda’s vibrant landscape. The warm sunlight and rippling water mirror the playful energy of a season filled with laughter, growth, and connection.
