“Water” – A Tribute to Homeland and Islands

The painting “Water” captures the essence of yearning for one’s homeland and islands. The blend of acrylic on canvas depicts a scene that resonates with a longing for familiar shores of Comoros, physically and emotionally, where memories of the homeland come flooding back like gentle waves igniting a sense of nostalgia and longing.

The play of light and shadow in the painting mirrors the ebb and flow of emotions experienced by those separated from their cherished islands. Each brushstroke whispers tales of the sea and the warmth of the homeland,as reminder of the everlasting bond between an individual and their treasured island home.
