Muhorakeye

2024 | Oil on Canvas, Stretched on Wooden Frame

"Muhorakeye" captures a summer morning along Lake Bugesera, where warm, golden light reflects the peaceful beauty of the landscape. The title, meaning "good morning" in Kinyarwanda, symbolizes a new day full of hope. At the heart of the piece is a woman irrigating her tomatoes and onions, working tirelessly to support her family. Her dedication and connection to the land reflect the spirit of Rwanda's summer — one of resilience, hard work, and harmony with nature.
