Golden Heart

$80,000.00

From a true story of the life of Bahati, an African boy from a polygamous family where he was tortured, starved and completely ignored by both the greedy ruthless father and his frustrated mother who was often lost in contemplation as she witnessed her husband’s new love affair flourishing before her eyes, this double creation named Golden Heart captures that pivot moment when Bahati almost gave up but a stranger noticed his suffering and decided to lend a helping hand; a chance that paved way for new beginning in the innocent boy’s life.

Each of the million beads involved into the creation of this artwork speaks volumes while settling in particular positions to depict the father in one frame with another woman and while Bahati’s mother walks away in another frame, the stranger with a Golden Heart is seen ready to give food to the ignored Bahati.

The work reminds us that there is more to life than just suffering and so we should never to give up.

Well, I should know because this stranger with a Golden Heart happens to be my real mother, Kokulengya.
