“Threads of Identity”
Acrylic and raffia on canvas
60 x 80 cm
A fusion of paint and raffia, this mixed-media portrait explores the layers that shape who we are. The woven raffia extends beyond representation, becoming a symbol of heritage, resilience and the stories carried through generations. By combining traditional materials with contemporary portraiture, the work invites viewers to reflect on identity as something both seen and felt; woven from culture, memory and lived experience.
