Home Grown

“Home Grown” is a heartfelt reflection on roots, memory, and the quiet beauty of simplicity. A woman sits peacefully on her porch, her eyes closed in gentle thought as her hair is lovingly braided. The metallic gold background bathes the scene in warmth and reverence, symbolizing both history and pride. She is surrounded by cotton fields stretching into the distance — a reminder of resilience, endurance, and the stories sown deep into the soil. Within the crown of her afro, a tree grows, its branches intertwined with rows of turnips and greens, representing growth, nourishment, and the cycle of life. The painting carries a sense of remembrance — a woman revisiting her country adolescence, where simplicity and strength were cultivated side by side. “Home Grown” speaks to legacy, the beauty of self-sufficiency, and the deep connection between culture, memory, and the land.
