Restoration is a painting that conveys the
message of restoration, repairing or mending
what has been broken or damaged in our lives.
This artwork is inspired by daily living which
offers success and joy, and trails and challenges.
Our spirits are broken or damaged on multiple
levels, firstly, by the people we love the most,
secondly, by people who hate us, thirdly by
the socio-political and economic system that
governs the country, and lastly, by ourselves.
Daily challenges try to break us into pieces, but
we must always find a way to keep on picking up
those pieces and mend them and become more
beautiful than before.
The pieces of glass that have been added to the
image symbolise how we can mend ourselves to
become stronger and more beautiful than before.
These pieces also symbolise how African people
can be united.
