Acrylic on Wooden Board 
30 x 40

“Perseverance” is inspired by the word “journey”, representing the challenges and growth that shape one’s path in life. The bright, vibrant colours in this piece symbolize the various influences that impact our journey, each hue reflecting different experiences, lessons, and turning points. These colours are interwoven with traditional patterns, merging the past with the present to emphasize the importance of staying connected to culture while navigating life’s complexities.

At its core, this piece speaks to the strength required to continue one’s journey. Life, much like culture, is not a straight path but one full of obstacles and shifts. The vibrant colours reflect the energy of these experiences, while the traditional patterns represent the resilience and enduring power of cultural heritage.

“Perseverance” encourages us to keep moving forward despite challenges, embracing both past influences and future possibilities as we continue our personal and cultural journeys.
