Description
This painting from the series “A Long Journey From Home” captures the relentless exodus of Africans fleeing from their homeland’s harsh realities—war, conflict, and the looming threat of hunger. Many of these figures are families, with children clinging to their parents’ shoulders, embodying the innocence and vulnerability of those caught in crises. Violence, such as armed conflicts and insurgency, continues to ravage parts of Africa, making life untenable for millions. Simultaneously, droughts and climate change threaten crops and water supplies, pushing entire communities into famine and hunger. The steady exodus highlights the human toll of these intertwined crises. The journeys remain perilous and uncertain, often crossing treacherous terrains, hostile borders, and dangerous waters. This artwork urges viewers to reflect deeply on the human cost of Africa’s ongoing crises and the resilience of those fighting to survive and find hope beyond despair.
