A luminous figurative composition rendered in oil and acrylic on polycotton, Cassi Namoda's work bathes its subject in warm, glowing tones that feel at once intimate and transcendent. The painting's tender title becomes inseparable from its visual language, as Namoda's loose, expressive brushwork imbues the figure with a quiet dignity and emotional vulnerability. Rooted in her practice of exploring memory, spirituality, and the African diaspora, the work transforms the act of portraiture into a deeply humanizing declaration of worthiness and belonging.
