About the Item

“Still Among the Living Thing” is a meditation on presence, on what it means to exist gently yet fully within one’s space. The woman stands calm, surrounded by the quiet abundance of plantain leaves, her gaze neither distant nor seeking. She belongs. This work reflects the bond between human and earth, how our stories, especially in African life, are rooted not only in people but in the living things that hold our history: the trees, the soil, the air that carries ancestral memory. Her stillness becomes a language, one that speaks of endurance, nurture, and quiet pride. I wanted to create a portrait that doesn’t just depict beauty, but balance, the sacred calm between the self and the world that sustains it. In her stillness, she listens. In her quiet, she remembers. And through her presence, she reminds us that life, in its truest form, is always in conversation with the living things around us.
